Go read about history, maybe you’ll be able to rethink about wanting the government involved.

  "history". Yes, that concise and short read that just tells you government bad. Do you have anything in particular in mind? I really struggle to find an excuse for not wanting to involve government regulations in obvious cases like monopolies almost monopolies. Even some libertarians, who are far from being a logical bunch of people, agree with this (alongside safety regulations and sometimes even infrastructure). The free market cannot function properly when it concerns externalities, infrastructure with high upfront costs, monopolies/oligopolies.

    Since when does writing graphic software meet any of your criteria? You can’t even bring up App Store monopolies since Figma is desktop software.

      Adobe have a near monopoly on graphic software (which is a niche with significant network effects due to format incompatibility and complexity).
