It would be more analogous to hft if
1. Platforms could detect they're sellng the same piece of good and automatically sort by price
2. There's no material difference between vendors other than pricing and offering, e.g. in customer service
3. vicious anti-competitive behaviour like those illustrated here are heavily regulated
When all these are true the vendors that survive would be ones that offer the best price among those who offer goods of the same level of crappiness.

No matter where you go and buy a fungible consumer product (SKU), the retailer was regulated by law to give you the best price available anywhere in the world at that exact microsecond.
