A monopoly is better for retail consumers?

I get that quants can get their alpha and whatever higher order terms, but if a consumer is buying to hold or using some other non-day trading strategy, why is this bad?

I'm confused why The New York Stock Exchange opening another NYSE office location has anything to do with monopoly status. The New York Stock Exchange is obviously still going to own both. If it was a monopoly before opening a second location it still will be, same as if it wasn't a monopoly.
