I very much like your analogy. Competition has its advantages, but it can oftentimes be a destructive force. The entire marketing/advertising industry is enormous and yet nothing of value is being produced. Instead, apps and platforms feel the need to become ever more addictive and receive ever more of our attention share, just because then they can place more ads in front of our eyeballs. Ads that contribute nothing to society except distract and annoy.
