>There's nothing monopolistic about it.

By definition, a monopoly is a majorly dominant market position, it says nothing about how it was achieved or the quality of the product.

>Anyone complaining about monopolies today has no idea how bad things actually were in the late 90's to early 00,s. We have more high quality products from more vendors and better interoperability than probably any other time in the history of computing.

Things being worse in the past is not a reason to not push for further improvement. By your argument we should stop all research and progress since things used to be worse so we should be happy enough with the status quo.

That's a distortion of what I said. If you want to have a debate about it, at least be intellectually honest.
