    My response got eaten so here’s the gist: big tree gets all the sunlight, and you rejoice when a few saplings choke each other out.

    The entrenched companies don’t need to do anything other than exist in order to eliminate competition. Fewer saplings means less risk of the big tree getting disrupted. That means less innovation.

        Break up the monopolies and encourage actual competition and innovation instead of this stupid hopeless deadlock.
