Soon to expire copyright material (stories, characters, etc.) that they then block from ever entering the public domain.

Disney owns considerably less than 1% of soon to expire copyright material, so no.

I'm not sure there's any chance that the US government comes down on the side of "You know this monopoly power we (the US government) explicitly grant and protect by default? You can't have it any more"

Disney took 45% of the US box office in 2019. Much more if if you narrow it to kids media. There are few competitors in either market so it's an oligopoly. You can see the effect in spiraling prices.

Amazon only managed 35% of ecommerce. There are a lot of other companies trying to eat their market (Ebay, Shopify, Ali). Hence prices there stay low.

There’s also a much lower barrier to entry in online retail.

Technically, the barrier to kids’ media is low too, and there’s tons of it, for free even, but it’s mostly garbage. What Disney has is a curated, higher quality (according to the market) product.

They own the Disney Theme Park Market. Vendors have to get approved to sell in Disney parks, a commissions gets paid to Disney for each sale, and Disney doesn’t allow Universal Studios products in any of the Disney park stores.
