>what are possible trade-offs when there is substantial constrains on monopolies, platforms, and aggregators ?
The benefits to centralization/aggregation is that things can be made uniform everywhere, which can make things convenient. (e.g. if language A had a monopoly on languages, it would be easy to communicate with others no matter where you go)
It then follows that - the downsides to limiting centralization (or encouraging decentralization) is that things are not necessarily uniform everywhere. (e.g. might be difficult to communicate when everyone's speaking different languages everywhere; difficult to get brand X in market Y)
