This is like a power company providing an electricity supply, and then
branching out into selling electrical appliances, then banning customers
from using their own appliances with the supplied electricity unless
they pay extra for it, or unless they buy their appliances from the
electricity supply company. I know it is not exactly, but it is as close
as I can get at this time of night to try and compare it with other
situations that might arise, where companies could try to use their
strength to impose unfair restrictions on customers.
