I agree that a business can do whatever they want, but it is also true that
they
don't live in a vacuum. Business relationships can't exist in an environment
in which you will do whatever you please. If you are not willing to work
with me and provide value to my long term goals, why would I want to do
business with you. It's like a child providing the baseball for a baseball
game
and then saying "I can pick up my ball and go home whenever I want to!!!"
It's true, but you'll never play ball with that little boy again. It's
definitely not
a valid argument for how to do business.
