It ought to be... maybe we'll see an anti-trust case.
Obviously, companies should have some choice in how they do business, and what products they choose to sell. I won't fault drug companies for refusing to participate in state-sanctioned murder, or super markets for selling exclusively organic.
Nor do I fault AWS for not advertising Google Cloud products.
But when you build a platform/infrastructure, maybe you also have to give up some control.
