Even short of breaking them up, I would love to see more scrutiny of acquisitions. The buy all your disruptors to kill them would be good for everyone, except maybe VCs
As such, discussion of the nature of the problem and broad-strokes ideas about how it might be addressed - e.g. "techno-selectionism" - can be an important part of the process of improving the situation.
As for your proposed solution, breakups of companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and probably quite a few more, is certainly one potentially promising possibility.
