The constitution says nothing adverse to regulating entities that are not actively doing harm (though I disagree). Congress can write any standard they want into law if you get the right legislators in a room.
Antitrust is reactive because consolidation is a slow burn and it takes a while for a critical mass of voters to feel the problem. Thats why Obama and Biden have taken completely different approaches, despite being ideologically similar.
