You forgot the biggest reason. Antitrust enforcement. Would facebook be facebook had it had to compete with instagram?

Would google be google without youtube or doubleclick?

Yes this is a great point. Antitrust enforcement is one of the few legitimate roles of the Federal Government in my opinion. That's why I wish a coalition could be built around personal freedom and the reduction of welfare, starting with welfare of the corporate kind.
