It's because I'm an evil asshole determined to protect my employer's interests and make our shareholders rich.
This is somewhat incompatible with protecting the interests of our competitors and enriching their shareholders.

Personally, I have little patience for the small and not-very-clueful who want to be direct competitors with a multibillion dollar company with lots of talent and who are taken to whining about my policies and those of my colleagues and associates, and even those of our competitors. This uncharitable attitude obviously does not endear me to them.
These whiners will be the same "evil asshole" when they, although it is very unlikely to happen, build their own national/international backbone and won't peer with the regionals. Why is Sean getting the pleasant compliments about a VERY logical business move on behalf of his company? People need to wisen up and realize that this industry isn't about free things anymore.. it revolves soley around money. Anyone that's into free help.. please call me. We are looking for cheap labor.
