In general historically I'd agree with you but the FTC under Khan has been prolific, not to mention there was recently news that they specifically are going to target Amazon for a large antitrust case and Khan wrote what is considered her most important paper specifically on Amazon. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-29/amazon-major-ftc-antitrust-case-expected-in-coming-weeks https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-29/amazon-ma... https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.pdf https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.p...

Prolific in what, though? Actual fines instead of peanuts? Preventing mergers of companies that at the federal level don't lead to monopolies, but at every local level do? It speaks volumes to how little power the FTC has in the modern day if it still doesn't have enough on Amazon to have forced them into reform on Khan's first day in office. Their business practice isn't exactly a secret. It's not that they haven't gotten better, but "better" and "what they should be" are very different things. One only hopefully leads to the other.
