I think you need to recognize that the FTC is governed by its commissioners and chairperson, and those people have their own priorities that are going to be different than their predecessors. Lina Khan, current chair, is much more focused[1] on controlling tech monopolies than Trump’s appointees, who had what you might charitably call more “market oriented” priorities[2] (to me, a euphemism for “bought by big business”).
