"We can achieve a big part pf this this by forcing them to serve everyone equally."
Why don't we force all companies to do this then?
The other alternative is to break them up and create true competition.

Because this can end up adding a barrier to entry for new businesses, especially in new niches. However, I think once any company becomes large enough then this should apply to them.
Companies exist to provide people with goods and services. They have no inalienable rights beyond that. If a company does so in a way we see as unacceptable (in this case discriminatory), we have the right to force it and the only rights it has are to comply or cease operation.

Yes, everyone know that's an issue. The solution, obviously, is to limit their ability to manipulate. We can achieve a big part pf this this by forcing them to serve everyone equally.
