    A company giving special access to it’s competition on a platform they control is usually used as an indicator of not being anticompetitive.

    I hadn’t considered it from a “collusion” angle.

        Eh, when Microsoft was required to ask you which browser you wanted, they didn’t need to offer every browser, just theirs, firefox and Chrome.

        This could definitely be collusion, but I don’t think that not extending it to all competitiors is what makes it that.
