Because the FTC can't without shooting itself in the foot. If the FTC defined a monopoly as widely as Ms.Khan did in her Yale Law Review paper, it would alienate the entirety of the F500 and create a constitutional minefield. The case might be litigated for a few years but, ultimately, the charge of being an illegal monopoly, along with any argument built upon that, would be dismissed. What the agency probably wanted to do was send in the most general and inoffensive claims first and amend as needed.
