You're a component in a value creating engine which includes the ability to hurdle those barriers to entry, which means you don't get credit (on your own) for the total value that you are able to produce within that system.

More likely, you're a resource being extracted by a monopolist that set up those barriers to entry.

Eh, some barriers to entry are artificial, some are not. Even artificial barriers are difficult for a single moustache-twirling monopolist to bring about on his own.
