This ia truein a free and conpetitive market. In the case of Meta's properties, consumers do not have agency. They are locked in (through a friend-graph that they cannot export to a competitor) and monopoly abuse keeps killing viable alternatives (like the old stale Facebook purchasing the young fresh Instagram). People have not asked for this. They have been enticed into a garden "for free" and then locked up inside.
