So you didn't click the link? Because ULA wasn't second, rocket labs had 9 launches last year and 24 scheduled this year.

As I said, the launch industry in the US is robust.

When/if SpaceX gets Starship operational, small outfits like Rocket Lab won't be able to compete. ULA will probably survive in some form though either due to being a well established in Washington (read: old trusted corruption), or through a merger with Blue Origin (read: bailed out by Bezos.)

No. 2: United Launch Alliance

Even if you're right, having 1 company with 10x of the #2 is not what I would describe as healthy.
