It's better to prevent the formation of these kinds of monopolies by proper regulations and approval for acquisitions and break-ups of bigger corporations into multiple smaller ones. Like what happened with Standard Oil and Microsoft at one time

Oil companies are gouging the planet and Microsoft has no real competition. That doesn't hold much water imo.
