Do you understand how me saying "Tyranny" and you responding "Duopoly" isn't really a conversation or even debate? We're literally talking about different things.

edit Since this seems to need clarification: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tyranny

So what exactly do you mean by "Tyranny"? I mean that customers do not have a choice and can't affect the market, due to high entry barriers and the presence of monopoly elements.

Still, neither duopoly nor even monopoly really amount to "tyranny". When was the last time some duopolist threw you into a GULAG, or their death squads slaughtered people willy-nilly in the streets?

Stop misusing words like that. It debases them.
