It wouldn’t result in a monopoly or near monopoly in any real sense, and it’s also hard to say it would meaningfully result in a restraint of trade. It’s also hard to say the consumer would be hurt by free diapers, at least in any concrete way, and if he didn’t add in ‘and raise the prices later when you’re dead’, it also wouldn’t be an easy thing to provide it wouldn’t just be wasting money out of spite. Which is purely legal.

Is it a strong arm/shitty tactic? Sure. Welcome to the real world.
