If they're uniquely positioned to do it, it probably doesn't need to be done. Who is going to usurp them if they don't?

I find this comment interesting in the context of having read a lot of brain-dead takes on "capitalism", some of which it liken it to feudalism.

I find it interesting because it shows how different those two are.

Under feudal zero-sum world your question would make complete sense, but under a capitalist positive-sum world, it seems to me the answer is just "a lot of profit would be left on the table" (ie positive-sum mutual-benefit transactions), which explains why docusign would do it.

I think a lot of danger can come from competing against imaginary forces. You get things like atom bombs and paranoia.
