The stores don't want you to have easy comparable access to their prices.

They'd quite like it if you just came in, saw that the item you wanted is out of stock, and then just buy some shit you didn't need.

Yeah, we're not going to make technology that drives prices down

But they'll happily give you full access to everything they have if you're another corpo and you promise to marginally improve their sales anyhow. That's, sadly, how businesses work.
