If you don't think about it, could create a weird set of local/product/etc. monopoly like things instead. Not thinking about isn't an option because it ignores the incentives if you force limit sizes.

Yes definitely agree a hard limit on sizes doesn’t make sense, but I just think it’s not going to be a problem any time soon with the current state of affairs in the US economy.

I honestly think that this is underestimating how good companies can get in optimization their positions. The smaller companies would inherit these abilities from their "parents".
