Assume here they are talking about identical titles carried by different e-book platforms. How do price copycats get stopped anyhow? One fellow raises his price, the others view that as an opportunity to get more as well, and no “collusion” needed.

If upheld, the decision would also force Apple to pay consumers $450 million under a 2014 settlement with 33 state attorneys general and consumers that was contingent on the company's civil liability being upheld. The success of the states' lawsuit against the tobacco companies laid the ground work for this and wetted the appetites of the states' attorneys for big payouts.
This is no more than suing for dollars. Either the big corporations fold; making deals in which they pay but admit to no wrong doing or fight in court but risk huge judgements.
It would never occur to judges or juries that prices like water seek their own level.
