Yep and it suggests we need stronger enforcement of existing antitrust laws, new pro competition laws, and greater taxation for giant megacorps. Between their bundling and loss leading and dark patterns and straight up copying smaller players, there is no real room to compete with them. This is a problem.

You've said this several times. Why aren't current antitrust laws sufficient? What kind of "fix" could new legislature realistically enforce?

Whenever the EU tries addressing this for the safety of their own citizens, America's politicians and pensioners get up-in-arms. Will your legislature address those people?
