That’s the argument imo.

That if you took Apple, Google, Facebook and started them today under appropriately matches circumstances... they would all either be purchased for meager amounts or put out of business.

I believe in free markets, but also monopoly wrangling. FAANG will absolutely work against the very landscapes they came up in.
