Right - but my point is that simple anti-competitive behavior is not necessarily running afoul here.

IT would be anti-competitive, but for the FTC to be involved the case needs to include monopoly abuse or stopping hard-driving competition. Since Google is available through Android and other competitors, and is not blocked from the web-browser, I don't think a legal case can be made. But would love opinions as to why that might not be the case.

EDIT: At least in the United States, perhaps in other jurisdictions it could be an issue?
