Private company doesn't allow promotion of competing product? That is just good business? No surprises here.
99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform
console = network, game = content.. is my argument.
IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.
Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase.. it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.
A platform that prevents you from posting links on such a petty basis should not exist. Does McDonalds boot you out of their restaurants if you mention you prefer Burger King?

The issue is at the same time as making editorial and commercial decisions about what context is shown to people they rely on legal protections based on the fact they are a common carrier rather than having a degree of editorial control.
