I'll leave it as an exercise for you to come to an understanding that predatory pricing is indeed something that both producers and consumers should beware of.
Pretty sure I did not ask why, I said I didn't understand why. And I was aware, as most people are, that these practices have been used in the past, and that they are now illegal in the scope you are speaking of so unlikely to happen.

And I am aware as I said that some people have pulled their products from Company A when they want to sell them themselves from their own site, and my wondering was directed specifically towards publishers who did not directly sell their product themselves.

So given the extreme unlikelihood that Company A could get away with the scenario you suggest and that publishers could easily pull their products from Company A's shelf an sell them for what you wish, I don't think your answered what I may wondering.
