And yet in many cases there are regulations against it. Almost as though behavior that warps the market is generally undesirable.

Give me an example of one such regulation.
Are you sure you're participating in good faith? I'll go ahead and indulge you for the benefit of the audience though.
The generic term is predatory pricing and it's regulated to some extent in pretty much every country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing#Legal_aspect...
When carried out at the international level it's known as dumping. The WTO has provisions against it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)#Legal...
As the Wikipedia page calls out, predatory pricing is generally in the context of a dominant firm throwing their weight around to dominate the market. You could make this case against large incumbents like Microsoft and Google, but Anthropic is actually the upstart here.
In any case, all this depends on how you define the "market", and the entire market for AI-assisted coding is very nascent and fast-moving to make any reliable calls about dominance at this point.

I fail to see how standard business practices Anthropic is engaging are predatory. If anything, the customer is clearly at an advantage here.
