Look, with this reasoning there is literally no world in which Amazon can be implicated for monopoly abuse of power. Apparently, having any other option (even if it is damaged by monopoly abuse) is good enough for you.

Clearly the FTC disagrees with your logic, and I'm glad they do. FedEx, UPS and USPS should be sued too if they did what Amazon is doing.

The FTC disagrees, but they will lose, as they've lost before.

It's definitely not just the FTC. 3 years ago, the European commission launched an investigation for the same thing: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_...

If the FTC fails to implicate them, rest easy. At least Europe knows how to keep their market on a leash.
