My memory might be weak on this topic but Microsoft has already went through a lawsuit due to not allowing people to use other browsers. And that case made Bill Gates lose money.
Might be this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp.?wprov=sfla1
These lawsuits take a long time and cost a fraction of what it would cost them to not do that.
I remember this because Bill Gates was literally the richest person at the time but lost his position due to lawsuits like this.
