Marketplaces are quantified by economic value, there being no other universal unit.
There's an arrogance in tech that we can make up definitions to suit ourselves. I guess it's related to the fallacy that the law is some kind of programming language.

The question of defining the market is the basis of how the decision is made in court and the biggest point of argument between the legal teams. This isn't about tech arrogance. I also feel like this back-and-forth isn't constructuve so I'll stop here.
