Well, my current conclusion with my post is that wording is very very hard :-). What I said is "I want to show small-ish negative impact of a big tech monopoly". It will not prove it's all bad, even though it'll only give examples of where this is bad
> I think it would be very interesting to explore the boundaries of monopoly, and to look at cases where monopolies are probably a good thing.
Let's just say that the current tendency is to think that monopolies are fine, and I'd like to help reverting that. Yes your examples are worst discussing, and I have some of my own.
For instance, I definitely acknowledge that Android's monopoly helped whole unrelated sectors. But I also believe that innovation would be much better served if Android was opensource-in-spirit and maintained by something like the Linux Foundation.
> It’s going to be pretty easy to dunk on obviously harmful monopolies.
If it was, they would already have been ruled illegal? In Europe, I can't really name any "obviously harmful monopolies"
