They actually aren't mandated to do it. What they are trying to do is expand the definition of anti-trust to give themselves more control over the various companies. The ebook business isn't the only place that the government has been expanding it's regulatory over reach. As Bork pointed out in his book, it basically requires government intervention to maintain a monopoly that harms consumers, otherwise in the long term competitors step in to better fill the needs of the consumers.
