Amazon is the archetypal example. They didn’t litigate their way to dominance. Amazon is just better than all the mom-and-pop alternatives, and that is fueled by technology and scale. Wal-Mart is another example, except optimizing for price. Apple is another.

I'm mostly talking about after one gets dominant, not how they got dominant. Microsoft was already dominant in PC software by the late 1980's.
