Amazon seems to have gone the complete other direction and ended up in the same place. They look restrictive by not openly allowing people to shop at B&N and Kobo on the Kindle, but it turned out a huge number of people have found no compelling reason to ever want to shop at those places over Amazon, and so don't feel at all restricted.
The fact that the three or four other mass-market ebook stores sell eBooks that are compatible with each other has not caused a mass exodus of Amazon customers or huge drop in their market-share.
