Is that really true? Sure there are plenty of airlines, but I find they don't all compete head to head. For a given region or set of source/destinations, it seems to me you get only around 3-4 carriers which actually fly.

I've been looking at fares from DC to Rome and DC to Edinburgh. In both cases, there were MANY options... United, Aer Lingus, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, WOW, Iceland Air, Delta/KLM.

I also had to book return tickets from DC to Denver. Fewer choices domestically, but still Southwest, United, and Frontier.
