Not at all, they allow DCC to help their merchants make more money. This helps them attract merchants and justifies charging them higher swipe fees because they can recover some of it through DCC.
I don't think there is any legitimate basis for a competition lawsuit. Amex doesn't allow DCC and they haven't been sued yet.
