Product segmentation isn't illegal... as much as it sucks for us consumers.
It's a similar thing to AMD sometimes (especially later into a process node's maturity) taking higher quality chiplets with more functional cores and turning off the cores to sell in a lower cost higher demand product or Intel doing similar with their chips.
It'd be illegal if they were lying about it.
