I’d say all the technology companies are relatively anticompetitive due to the nature of the work.


What nature of it?


Fighting over limited resources by definition of the type of work.


Fighting over limited resources is basically what competition is, and I would say most (all?) industries could be characterized this way too.

I think it's more the issue that compatibility extremely difficult in technology in a lot of important ways that makes competition and regulation hard. But more importantly, at least on the internet/search/social media side of things, because it is extremely pervasive and holds huge influence on the population and has a lot of data on the population, which makes it an incredible tool to influence political opinion, so it has become very corrupt.
