The 'anti-competitive' practices make the product better. It keeps you in their ecosystem that is more trust worthy than third parties. For instance, I avoid the third party crap on Amazon that's not managed by them because they're usually awful, weird pricing almost like they're hoping someone accidentally buys it and shipping takes long.

Is it 'anti-competitive' that Amazon pushes their stuff? I don't really care, its just a better product for Amazon. If I wanted the third party crap, I'd go to eBay.

So a lot of these regulations that are supposed to promote competition actually make the product worse.
