Why would it? There’s plenty of competition in the AI space.
It is a common misconception that antitrust violations require a monopoly or something close to it. Some antitrust violations only apply to actors with large market share, some don't.
Although this is situation is likely not illegal for other reasons
I would assume that it’s like the Chrome browser does not allow you downloading Firefox using it, surely that would be illegal, wouldn’t it?
