> market dominance to harm consumers.
If Google decides to abandon Android tomorrow, or go all in on Windows Mobile OS, is that an "abuse of market dominance"? In reality, private companies are free to make decisions that make sense to them.
There's no law that says things should be "free", or everyone should be "happy" with a companies decision.

Yes.

And that's why governments should regulate them very strictly. I fully expect corporations to fuck over consumers if it makes them a couple of bucks.

Most countries have regulations protecting consumers.
