It is not the same, you are talking about competeing businesses, and we are talking about not shutting your customers out of the action.

How true. For instance, if you can go play at boulder station for 5%, $3 max, it's certainly not worth it to leave center strip (all pissed off and rejected) because you got shut out of a game, even tho you can save some on the rake.

If someone is giving you action and especially if they have been playing shorthanded or otherwise helping to keep a game open, I think you have a resposibility to keep them in the action if it is possible.

I guess it is logical to consider that the games competing with each other but don't forget the players in the original game are also customers of the cardroom.

Absolutely. A primary concern is not to upset those who have already been loyal customers to your room, keeping an existing game going. Intentionally offending these clients, even if they are small stakes players, could ultimately be catastrophic for your business, particularly if they are local players.
