so, where's the flaw? The fact that somebody sometime ago named another corporation a monopoly by the same ridiculous criterion as "too big" and discharged it, doesn't make it anyhow right. Was there gatekeeping from the government for new players to enter the same market? Any quotas or tariffs by chance?

That isn't what a monopoly is.

Artificial inability to enter the market with a competing product is literally in the definition of a monopoly.

In a completely free market, monopolies are natural outcomes of some circumstances.
