What if allowing Amazon to purchase iRobot harms the market and shuts down three other competing companies, sending many more people out of a job. Oh, and iRobot still lays of people because they can share a bunch of functions with Amazon now.
What Amazon acquisitions have put other companies out of business?
Amazon bought Eero, yet I haven’t seen other WiFi router companies go out of business.
Amazon bought Ring, then a competitor was so successful that Amazon bought Blink.
This notion that Amazon’s acquisition would put competitors out of business seems to be a weird dream. Especially when it is known an easier path to “unfairly compete” would be to just create an Amazon-labeled robotic vacuum and put that on the market.
