My memory might be weak on this topic but Microsoft has already went through a lawsuit due to not allowing people to use other browsers. And that case made Bill Gates lose money.

These lawsuits take a long time and cost a fraction of what it would cost them to not do that.

I remember this because Bill Gates was literally the richest person at the time but lost his position due to lawsuits like this.
