Whataboutism. It shouldn’t be allowed in any TOS.
I’ll point out, when I went to sell my book on Apple Books, they had this in their TOS as well - I wasn’t allowed to sell the same digital book for less somewhere else. It is not a new or unique agreement.

Anticompetitive behavior is tolerated much more from companies that aren’t the market leader, and Apple Books is far from the market leader.

Amazon started it. They are the market when it comes to books.

The entirety of third party selling on Amazon is under this agreement. This is why i don’t think Steam will lose. Not because they shouldn’t, but because the money and power behind this are not valve at all.
