I suppose the distance between being the sole provider, or having exclusive control over, office suite software and the 5 million businesses paying for GSuite as of last year? Or the 2 billion active GSuite users?

Lets make the unit of measure a paying business subscription. We will call them business units, or BUs. Microsoft Office is 5MBUs(mega business units) away from being a monopoly.

And office had 155 million in 2018 to your 5 million......

Ergo.. Not a monopoly.

How do you quantify?

I also never claimed it was a monopoly in the first. Looks like a few people are arguing against their own projections.
