    I don't see the relation, almost nobody in the real world can be self sufficient outside of a few, and in many cases those are huge corporations.

    So you have never heard of price matching or taking X% off competitor's prices? Taking competitor's coupons? It's taking other business away from competitors and why Wal Mart was able to crush small businesses as they are able to price things much lower when smaller businesses need all the profit they can get.
