As other replies noted, no one is looking for or setting the bar at simultaneous and equal action.
Nearly any action in proportion to the harm would be sufficient.
It’s a common principle in law, actually.
For instance, with speeders - if literally no one including folks going 20 over the speed limit get a ticket for years in a town, and then the Sheriff’s political opponent gets a huge ticket and his car impounded for going 5 over, would that be ok?
What about if the Dr. treated everyone, except for his childhood bully which was dying of cancer?
Monopolistic and anti-trade behavior is going nuts everywhere, in almost every industry. From meat packing to shipping to tech.
