The company doesn't need to be a nasty anti-competitive jerk to pay developers.

It's when instead of competing on merit, companies focus on controlling the market through monopolization techniques. I.e. simply banning competition.

Lock-in (i.e. refusal to support interoperability), patent aggression, forbidding competing technologies in their store and so on and so forth.

Having all software distribution for their embedded devices go through a centralized authority?
