Currently, the us government forces nvidia to cut all chinese companies out of their products. So definitely there are cases this happens. Is that also a problem in your book? Because if not, what is a problem in your book would be very subjective.
In the current example, we have a conglomerate between a level 1 (competitor) and a level 3 company, which lead this level 1 company to stop working with the specific level 3 company-part of the conglomerate. You cannot have your pie and eat it too. They could have chosen not to of course, but they chose this.
I think what would have been more problematic is if Antropic came to an exclusivity agreement with eg Cursor and then they made their models unavailable to all other platforms/products, in an attempt to monopolise the space. In this sense, the windsurf-openai relationship is what is actually problematic imo.
