Not strange.
Price fixing helps the entrenched players. Kobo wants agency in Canada because they're top dog. In the US agency got them exactly nowhere.
Amazon on the other hand lost nothing significant.
Even Apple, with a prenegotiated agency deal took nothing from amazon, only from the other epub vendors. Which is where the lawsuits are coming from.
They aimed at Amazon and hit everybody else.
