On the other hand, not everything really needs to be a free market, there are tradeoffs. It might be worth having a airplane duopoly if it ensures airlines arnt trying to buy airplanes that are shoddy with a few corners cut risks be damned (of course, if the reality is that the duopoly gets to make shoddy airplanes anyway, this doesn't apply). Some things are just very, very safety critical in a way that's more important than maximal money saved

737 Max comes to mind, when talking about safety.

Boeing took engineering shortcuts of using software to make the plane appear to fly like older 737s to avoid a new type certification and the necessary retraining costs. I think FAA failed here by continuing to allow that to fly without a new type certification.
I think there's room for regulation and forced audits. The important part is that the compliance costs are small compared to development and production costs. That's true in the car industry unless you have really low volume, while airplanes are pushed over the threshold by much lower volume and much higher regulation.
