Bwahaha. You’re really reaching there.

A vendor can still do something, even if the guild wouldn’t allow them to do it, if the guild didn’t have the power to stop them.

It used to be a guild vs a blacksmith (or the blacksmiths guild). Now it’s trillion dollar corps against smaller islands of un-organized individuals.

That’s new regardless of how you try to argue it.

No. Customers have never been able to compel their suppliers to make or sell certain products against their will (except in collectivist regimes or like 0.00001% of natsec related instances)
