I've often seen the complaint that developers think the law is purely strategic, like a computer, and if they can find a technicality then the law must follow through.

But that's not how this works.

It's technically true that fiber has competition if another ISP is offering dialup in the same area. No one in their right mind would agree that's actually a competitor in anything but name.

And so it is here.

If not selling on Amazon is an existential risk for your company, Amazon is effectively a monopoly, and THAT is what the law cares about.
