You aren’t #1 and you definitely do not dominate the market and you are not the only source for the product.

How can you be in violation of “anti-trust” laws?

Of course they will settle because fighting in court is more expensive.

the issue was the collusion.

publishers and apple colluded to have a universal price and lock out any competition. Apple wants ALL books to go through their apple store and the publishers want to control all prices to prevent any price other than the one they set.

Amazon was dictating to publishers and publishers did not like that. They banded together to fix prices. That is totally illegal.
