This is the “instead of providing school lunches, eliminate poverty” argument.

I am fully supportive of fostering competition. But until the market actualky changes, monopilies / duopolies should be regulated to prevent this abuse of power.

Rejecting a simple tactical solution in favor of a future systemic overhaul is classic perfect vs good.

There is still an alternative, plain paper cash, and is run by the government. Won't trust most governments these days to do it though
