That seems nearsighted to me. Making it cheaper for vertically integrated businesses to make money kind of forces bigger businesses to buy smaller ones.
This same idea also means that smaller businesses aren't on the same playing field as bigger businesses, because they can't afford to vertically integrate as much. They don't have as much cash to spend. This means that small businesses naturally have a harder time growing.
And this becomes an oligopoly problem. The big businesses get bigger and the small businesses either get bought or get put of business.
That doesn't sound like a healthy market to me. I would much prefer a market with many competitive small businesses that work with other small businesses to build products.
Better products and choice of products are guaranteed this way.
