Sure, but saying "isn't this just what any capitalist would do" necessarily demands a discussion of the legalities. Trying to ignore if it's legal or not in a discussion of if it's a normal end game for all companies is absurd. If it was legal to murder your business rivals, then sure, it would likely be fairly normal to do so, but it's not, so what's the point of mentioning it? The outrage over his actions is specifically because it's likely not legal or ethical. Compare to the stuff Tim Sweeney is doing in his fight with Apple - he's done a lot of stuff that I would say is decidedly unethical, but understandable. It's also things where he's willing to pay the costs of doing it. Matt seems to fully believe this is legal, ethical, and completely justified and deserves to be lauded.
