I'd call it a monopoly by the same standards I'd call Facebook one. It's the only general-purpose encyclopedia on the internet that any person has heard of. It found a need and met it so perfectly that nobody would ever bother try to compete with it, because not only does it do its job near perfectly but it's also free and open source.
And they're not making Facebook money but they're making far more than small business money.
My point was to be that maybe Wikipedia is a case study in how to make a lot of money without sacrificing your virtues, that maybe there are more specific factors that drive other businesses towards being evil besides just having tons of money.
