Notice how your examples are monopolies and the government.
The government is a different beast from provate organizations (even monopolies). Governments can legally take away your freedoms, your livelihood, your life, etc. They’re there for those kinds of difficult decisions for the good of society.
But when a private company can effectively do the same thing at their own discretion? That’s not right. They’re too big for anyone’s benefit.
…at least, in my opinion. I’m sure some people disagree, and see a benefit to having unregulated megacorps with that much power.
