Most of those points sound reasonable but where do you draw the line and wouldn’t these companies be able to just throttle your dependence on them right before

Most of those points sound reasonable but where do you draw the line and wouldn’t these companies be able to just throttle your dependence on them right before that line?
Let’s take Otterbox and Amazon for example. If Amazon notices that Otterbox is selling exceptionally well, they can require proof that Otterbox is selling similar numbers on other platforms otherwise they will be throttled. Just like that, there’s no dependence on Amazon because you’re obligated to diversify your sales. Don’t like it? Tough shit, now you’re not allowed to sell on Amazon at all because you must maintain compliance with the law.
Also, while we’re labeling internet properties as utilities, can we label internet access a utility first?
