Businesses have the right to be discriminatory and anti-competitive in
this way. McDonald's won't sell a Burger King their burger patties. This is
both discriminatory and anti-competitive, but also perfectly legal, moral,
and proper.
You only run into a problem under United States law if the company is a
monopoly. And I've already addressed that issue in this thread.
