Market competition only goes so far.

Wouldn't it be more than competition since the market would not exist in the first place?

Sounds like a lack of competition. Multiple entities should compete for providing the best solution, and the entities should be rewarded or penalized accordingly.

Seems the problem may be a lack of competition.

Less competition is bad for the entire market, not just power users.

The issue here is lack of competition, not profit.

Only if they have competition. Which long term is not the default state in the market.
