It's a tool, it goes on the tools page. You didn't scrutinize the business practices of the other companies listed on the page, so why do it here?
I'm in favor of an NPOV description of any relevant business practices of companies listed on [[Wikipedia:Tools]], particularly those related directly to the tools listed there. For example, if WikiWax filed a patent lawsuit against Google on their "search autocompletion" feature, I would very much be in favor of informing our readers about this. However, I am not aware of any such incidents. The other question is, if Answers.com's tool is listed, *where* it should be listed.
As for whether or not the issue is important, it becomes obviously more important if [[Wikipedia:Tools]] is listed more prominently in the user interface, e.g. the sidebar, as has been proposed in the past in conjunction with the Answers.com partnership. As long as Wikipedia:Tools stays where it is, a fairly obscure page in the middle of nowhere, I do not care *that* much.
