To me this all seems warranted. Please read the European Commission report [1]:
> On 6 July 2023, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation to assess if Amazon's acquisition of iRobot may
> (i) restrict competition in the market for the manufacturing and supply of RVCs; and
> (ii) allow Amazon to strengthen its position in the market for online marketplace services to third-party sellers (and related advertising services) and/or other data-related markets.
> As a result of this in-depth investigation, the Commission is concerned that Amazon may restrict competition in the European Economic Area (‘EEA')-wide and/or national markets for RVCs, by hampering rival RVC suppliers' ability to effectively compete.
