Anti-trust laws are not built around the assumption that "good business practice" equals good for society.
Monopoly laws are not built around the case that one can always go buy from the monopoly company.
Again, though, IANAL. However, if you really don't see the concern of booksellers making their own throw-a-few-dollars-at-cover-and-editing "publishing" arms to then grant their selling arm exclusive sale rights, then I can't convince you otherwise.
