A lot of these "monopoly" talks could be resolved by simply making adversarial interoperability legal and codified into law.
Tech monopolies are primarily so because the legal system is being abused to prevent adversarial interoperability.
If it was possible to build alternative clients to interoperate with monopolist's services then their monopolies would crumble as third-parties would be able to repackage and resell whole or parts of the monopolist's services without the attached downsides and reduce lock-in/network effects.
