Didn’t windows already get sued for this once before in the 90s, trying to prevent netscape from being used?

Yes they did. And at that time Microsoft wasn't playing the political game. I think it was Janet Reno that went after them. This is what happens when you don't suck up to the government. I think it finally went away after about 10 years and millions of wasted taxpayer dollars.

You’re correct. It’s funny, I can recall exactly when that happened as that was when i got my first pc in 1996, ora year or 2 later when the anti trust lawsuit happened and that only seems like a few years ago.
