AFAIK, none of these companies are known to engage in prohibited conduct, so that's probably why they've not had much scrutiny.

You don't hear about Koala Kare forcing you into buying anything else if you want their change stations, or anything like that. There's free competition, but the Koala stations seem to work well and so there you go. If RubberMade is one of the major alternates and they can't sell a lot of them, I dunno ... RubberMade products are very common in commercial buildings.

Same thing with Crayola, maybe they've got some super secret thing where they buy up all the crayon making supplies, or maybe everyone else just makes shitty crayons and you only have to get burned a couple times before you're like Crayola crayons are always reasonable, just gonna buy those. Maybe not their markers though, I'm partial to Sanford's Mr. Sketch Scented Markers.
