It literally is if you have a monopoly.

It isn’t. And they don’t.

While I disagree with the other commenter’s approach and attitude, he/she/they are partially correct.
There is no legal obligation for a company to fund or assist its competition, even if it holds a significant marketshare. The companies that do help their competition, like Microsoft with Apple in 1997 or Google with Mozilla today, begrugingly choose to do it so their lawyers can make the argument that they are not a monopoly because they still have competition.

They literally objectively, have monopolistic anti-competitive power, largely thanks to blind dick riding gamers like you.
