they're so shockingly inept, i can't believe it anymore
I don't believe this instance of anticompetitive behavior was an accident either. They just thought while doing it for ad blockers, might as through in the competition in the net too. They just got caught. Now they can plausible claim it was an accident.
Like much of big tech, they are too big. This makes also being anticompetitive just too easy to resist.
