You’re completely misunderstanding what these laws are. Airports, the stores in them, airlines, and their operations are absolutely completely subject to these laws, in fact extremely few business are exempt from them.

Also exclusively contracts are normal and fine, these some extreme outlier exceptions, but almost always exclusivity is simply a right to buy. This is completely unrelated to airports though. Just normal business
