It took me a while to interpret this, but I think I see what you're getting at here.
You're right that the competition dynamic doesn't have to be the one we choose.
So I suppose there's a fourth option which involves some sort of other distribution mechanism. You're still going to have a privileged group though, unless you choose to eliminate experiences (e.g. there's no way of fairly distributing private jets, they're not private any more if you do that).

However, this inequality is at least independently distributed from other forms of inequality. To me that's already an improvement. There's also lots of other areas where I think competition could be entirely eliminated. Take healthcare, there's basically no need for that to be a competitive system.
