I think the point is they're not trying to be a monopoly. It just ended up that way naturally because all their competitors killed themselves.
yeah its like if you were in a race and you said your opponent cheated because you broke your leg and they didn't
If my neighbor finds a bazooka rather than buy one, he still has a bazooka.
If all your neighbors shoot themselves in the face, it's not your fault they did that.
It doesn't matter that it's not your fault. If you happen to stumble into a situation where you end up being able to do immense harm, it's for the good of all of us if there's some mechanism that ensures that you won't be able to.
It’s more like all the neighbors attempted to build larger worse more dangerous bazookas and failed and are now telling you that the one left with a small working bazooka should be crippled so they have a chance to build their bigger weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile, you’ve got the keys to the entire kingdom so you don’t even need to be in the neighborhood to get hit by a bazooka, anyways. (Go pirate ffs)
