So … Shimano charging different prices in different markets is EXACTLY the “Free-market Economy” you think we should have.

Hello.
Isn't part of the "free market" economy that if I don't like the prices or service at one store, I can go down the street and buy the product at another store.

Except that is EXACTLY what Shimano is trying to prevent.
