How can you tell them difference between that and early removal of a competitor?

What is the difference? If your competitor is competent, acqui-hire them. If they are not, there is no real competition.

Well google did buy photomath recently as well, which is basically the same thing so who knows.

You often can't, which is why they can get away with these anti-competitive practices
