Amazon, Apple, Google etc would not be allowed to do what they do with retail pricing in UK or Ireland physical shops or bookshops.
The Content provider on Amazon, Apple, Google etc mostly sets the retail price and the online seller offers a % of that to the provider. That's illegal in UK or Ireland physical shops or bookshops.
It should be that the content provider sets a price to Amazon, Apple, Google. Microsoft etc and then the retailer can retail at any price they want to charge. Why are they allowed to do this system, illegal in regular retail in many countries, online everywhere.
