Isn't any competitive offer intended so the customer shuns the rivals?

Yes, but it's not a legal requirement to shun the competitors. You can still purchase at 2x the price if you want to. That's the issue here. Qualcomm banned Apple from purchasing at any cost from competitors, essentially. It was in the deal that there would be significant consequences from purchasing from other competitors.
