> In your hypotheticals, if Ford controlled all dealerships then refusing to sell GM would be anti-competitive.

what? That's complete nonsense.

If I want to bring something to market, I can't just force my competitor to sell it in their stores. "Dan's Cars" could start up and force Ford to sell their cars in the Ford stores - crazy.

That's not how this works. If "Dan" expects to sell cars, then he has to do that himself, not rely on, or expect his competitors to do that for him.

How Dan's competitors sell their cars is frankly none of Dan's business.

You're completely ignoring the "if Ford controlled all dealerships" part of the hypothetical. Which means you're railing against a pure strawman.
