Manufacturers protecting territories for distributors doesn't go against an open market policy. It's company not wanting to compete against itself. Not allowing a Club Dealer near a Yamaha dealer would be contrary to an open market.

My guess is that The Villages Golf Store is working in co-operation with the dealer on 441/27. Similar to the way the Harley Davidson dealership used to have a store at LSL.

Since Yamaha and EZ0-Go have dealerships in The Villages, Club Car is at a disadvantage. They probably want a presence in within the bubble.
