it only is abusing if they push their products before others, if you fail to rank highly in search results whose fault is that?

are we going to use the IE solution, but instead now force it on providers whom you have to voluntarily choose over another to provide selected results? who gets to choose who appears?

Well, if that failure to rank highly is due to Google manually removing you, I think it's fairly clear whose fault it is.

(It's Google's.)
