If I were debuting a product, I think I'd feel a bit hurt and/or frustrated to see a competitor getting a big spotlight on the post.
But on the other hand, many (if not most!) F/OSS projects I browse on GitHub include direct links to antecedents, competitors, and clones in their READMEs. When something is a project rather than a product, I don't think authors always worry about having the spotlight the same way. At least, many authors seem to have no problem with their work being presented in the context of a range of alternatives.
Tbh, I don't think there's a singular answer here, even to the question of what empathy recommends.
