I'd call Johnny's actions for not putting songs into iTunes in an attempt to boost sales "uncompetitive" and "unfair"... It just hurts competition to others - ikimono-gakari's vs. AAA's were quite competitive, but if you had to compare between Arashi and ikimono-gakari, that sure is uncompetitive...

Cuz ikimonogakari never were a major single seller, considering their highest selling single sold 135k and it was the only single they ever had that broke 100k mark and their singles usually don't sell much more than 50k.
Why would JE care about hurting their competition? Avex is obviously content with the amounts of money they earn from digital distribution, while Johnny obviously isn't.
