Corporations like Apple have inherent economies of scale though - all the engineering cost of developing the latest iPhone is spread across all the devices sold, and the cost of developing something like Apple Silicon is spread across every device they make and sell. Saying that corporations that big shouldn't exist is effectively equivalent to saying modern technology shouldn't exist. Like, I know the whole argument that people who complain about this but own an iPhone gets a lot of flak, but in this case the thing being complained about and the existence of devices like iPhones is fundamentally intertwined; one enables the other.
