Totally agree. I think the parent comment was a little heavy-handed in implying that large technology companies like NVidia are anti-competitive via political and or legal means. There certainly are markets that have these qualities... but chip manufacturing is not one of them. The economies of scale and necessary R&D investment needed to be competitive are the primary things preventing new upstarts from making an impact. This is because the industry has matured.
