I agree a (temporary) monopoly is totally OK. Normal in fact.

But the parent comment was specifically celebrating a long term, unassailable monopoly.

If you read it uncharitably. If you read it charitably, the “it’s awesome” can be referring to how quickly they made something work that otherwise wouldn’t for many more years.

> Starlink has a constellation two orders of magnitude bigger than any competitor. It’s over. And IMO it’s awesome

I feel like you are being overly charitable. The ‘it’s awesome’ comes directly after the ‘it’s over’

But TBH I’m pretty cyclical at the best of times.
