That's from the gospel of the Libertarian Church of the Invisible Hand.

This approach doesn't work in the real world because Google's consumers are neither perfectly informed nor perfectly rational. It also ignores the fact that major corporations can enlist the help of the US government in maintaining and extending their de facto monopolies.

Still, it's hard to argue that Google Chrome is a monopoly, when it's not even the default in most user OSs (the exceptions bring ChromeOS and some of the Android vendors.)

Is it not a de-facto default when the first thing many people do on the internet is hit Google.com and get prompted to download it?
