Amazon has a lot of individual web shops as competition in addition to sites like ebay and rakuten. Also any serious classical retailer has an online shop by now and search engines like Google shopping help them to compete on price. Amazon has a high market share, but they are far from a monopoly. They earned their market share through low prices, fast delivery and best in market customer support and they will lose it, if these three points drop considerably in quality.
Anecdotal I explcitly skip Amazon for lower priced shops, if I do not care about customer support and if products have a high reputation of arriving broken, because they made a reputation of banning accounts for bad return behavior.
While Facebook itself might be hard to break up, Instagram and WhatsApp can easily be independent companies and a strong point can be made that these acquisition shouldn't have been allowed based on anti-trust in the first place as these stopped emerging social network competition in other forms of communication (images, 1 to 1).
