Imagine if Honda or Huawei's website had an official review of their competitors, such as Toyota or Apple. Is it fair? Should it even be allowed? How can a direct competitor offer a truthful or fair review of their rivals? This is even more of a practical concern in niches like physical security. This example was interesting.
