    I was about to say, this sounds like market collusion

    Wouldn’t the free-market capitalist thing for them to do in this situation be to take the knowledge their competitors can’t compete with them and use it to squeeze them out of business?

    Literally if they do anything else with this information it feels like it has to be pretty textbook collision

      Free-market capitalist thing would be to do whatever the hell you want to make as much money as you can. That’s what you get when there is no regulations on the market to discourage bad behavior for competition, the consumer or environment.
