Winning all the legal battles might not be their best case. They are getting good at fighting legal battles, and a permanent state of lawfare might be to their advantage (because they are better at fighting it than competitors).
If this is their business model it is a very interesting one. Create continual legal battles with the local authorities to scare off new entrants to the market.
I wonder if any business has ever used this model successfully before?
In a more general sense, quite a few businesses rely heavily on complicated regulatory environments that virtually ensure than only people who can afford lawyers can compete.
Of course, there's a difference between continual legal battles and just needing a lawyer.
