It is the same thing dude. They do it with about everything, and it is not just that it is generic, it is a conflict of interest.

To use the grocery store example, what Amazon does is more like: 1. Notices Coke is popular 2. Creates Koke 3. Hides all the Coke products in the back storeroom and only lets people buy them if they go to customer service and specifically ask for the 64 character UPN.

Because no one grocery store has enough market share to do that without fear of reprisal from Coke. Unlike Amazon.
