There's an argument that Microsoft missed the whole mobile trend because of the antitrust trial and it's outcome, making them second guess potential moves. IBM got rid of it's computer division as one of the many results of the antitrust case and it's now basically a consulting company with researchers as a side gig. For any of these companies there was a path to keep making tremendous revenue without getting regulators on one's back, though it requires keeping producing competitive products. As an example, LVMH is an ultra profitable group with a tentacular hold on its markets, but you don't see governments constantly suing them. I'm not sure why you see getting struck down by whole governments to be some desirable "rich people problem".
