No doubt this is slimy, but does it make Amazon a monopoly? It seems like a tough case for the FTC to win.

Contrary to popular corporatist disinformation, anti-trust law isn't just for literal control-100.000000%-of-the-market "monopolies." Any company (or colluding group of companies) large enough to unduly influence the market can be subject to it.

That's why it's called "anti-trust" law, not "anti-monopoly" law.
