Except iRobot was an American company and the FTC was also evaluating the deal so?

I suspect the problem here is a dominant retail player buying a big manufacturer

Amazon and iRobot also have EU-based companies, thus get jurisdiction.

FTC is an incompetent agency whose sole goal is to tank each and every deal.
