Which businesses are monopolies? Slack surely isn't. If there's a market for faster chat clients because that's what people want then looks like a business opportunity?

FWIW all of slack competitors are also electron (rocket.chat et all), so it seems like you possibly know something that other engineers don't and might have a competitive advantage!

Google is a monopoly.

If someone released a GPU-accelerated version of Electron that had the performance of the GUI in basically every video game, it would destroy Electron. Now, would it be popular? I'm not sure, but let's say the answer is no. Ok, now imagine Google released that.
