Why would you assume that when companies compete fiercely that they are coordinating? Of course they werent coordinating.

Whataboutism is a word that has been abused badly a lot in the last year but it seems like it fits here.

The person you are replying is making an apt analogy between dynamics that drove comp up and those that are guaranteed to drive it down. If one was not collusion, what's the reason to think the other one is?
