Yes literally this. Every large corporation gatekeeper does this sort of thing, it's why we have to militantly push for decentralisation by avoiding these corporations. It's not morally different from Google forcing your site to be AI-scrapeable or be kicked off Google Search. It's why Apple won't let you publish an app without paying them 30% of your total revenue. It's why Microsoft threatened to ban Steam (they later decided not to) so they could get all those games onto the Microsoft Store, and in response Valve ported gaming to Linux.
