...yes, and? Every capitalist company wants to become a monopoly. It's just not always easy to do so. We have dozens of companies in the USA that have been trying to become monopolies for years, with tons of reporting on it. Only tech companies get this intense scrutiny.

People are just wigged out more by tech companies than grocery stores, coffee shops, pharmacies or telecommunications companies.
