The anti-competition laws have to allow a certain amount of freedom, including some questionable acts. Else businesses and their allies are going to cry foul.

Actually that is wrong - anti-competitive laws have nothing to do with Market Share. They are solely based on Acts therefore if a Company like Microsoft (that has 80% of the market share) is doing something that is considered illegal then a company like Apple (who only has 10% of the market share) is doing the same thing then they are breaking the law also. The only issue is no one brings the complaint up against companies with little market share and the Justice Deparment of any country very rarely does it on their own accord.
