Yet they don't.

Selective enforcement is arbitrary, politically motivated enforcement.

Every enforcement agency at every level does selective enforcement. Nobody has the resources to go after every case of law-breaking.

Clearly many traditionally established regional monopolies/oligopolies not being probed into is not a matter of resource scarcity. Can we argue in this logic that if some companies are not punished by existing applicable laws/regulations for so long a time, that means those set of laws/regulations are acutally juridically invalid and thus can't be applied to other entities as well.
