I think this is a poor take. Since Bork, anti-trust regulation has been an afterthought in Washington. The fact that DOJ, the same agency that bloodied Microsoft, is looking in another big tech company is very big news. DOJ lawyers aren't dumb, digging into BigTech will bring a lot of bodies to the surface and the culture of anti-trust regulation will change, eventually BigTeleco and BigAg will be next.
