I think that smacks of something nasty myself. Basically if they can't get what they want they won't provide what the customer wants to buy. Or at least that's how that sounds to me. It's like someone is selling lemonade at .50 a cup and expects their neighbor (who is also selling lemonade) to not sell it at .10 a cup even though in the long run the neighbor will make more profit than they will. The customer isn't there for the seller, the seller is there for the customer. Sure they have to make a profit so they can pay their own bills and stay in business, but saying they 'won't provide' as opposed to 'we can't provide' smells to me of just plain greed.
