Your language is debatable, on a case by case basis.

But even assuming it true, even that is not the standard by which anti-trust is judged. It's judged based on consumer welfare. That's where the debate should lie.

And no doubt it is a debate still. And the debate alone could shape actions and outcomes.

There's no doubt that the consumer welfare standard has been the AT standard for recent memory, but more folks are starting to question if that is the right standard. That's part of the discussion around some of this.
