Dominate the market instead of make the market better? I don't quite follow.

A seed that can be planted in more areas, and consistently grow more abundantly, seems favorable for all.

Yet I can still go to the farmer's market and get my 60+ types of apples, honey, etc. If I want something special.

Or are you saying that once one seed is produced, companies will stick with that instead of continuing to improve the seed? Because that's not the case either, there's hundreds of varieties of corn, each able to tolerate slightly different conditions.
