This isn't intrinsically true.

If they raise the prices, does the market go away?

If they are able to outlast and go to self-driving cars, how profitable is that business when factoring in competition, possible regulation, or it even becoming a public utility?

You’re underestimating the current oligarchy that exists. That’s why net neutrality is dead. You’re right, it’s not intrinsically true, but it’s pretty damn close to it...

Side note: big companies generally die because they don’t take a real threat seriously, and by the time they do, it’s too late.
