  I do not disagree at all, but we've got 40+ years of lax anti-trust enforcement complete with backing doctrine and underpinning philosophy to overcome to get there. If Microsoft in 1998 wasn't a monopoly deserving of breakup, I don't think anything except a strict 100% of the market, with precisely 0 competitors, owned by a single, comically scarre and universally loathed tycoon will count.
