All companies are not one giant entity. Even when they illegally collude, they're holding onto their knives and keeping a keen eye on one another's backs.

Of course any company would take this deal and make a boatload of money (though less than the $200B / year).

Undercutting all its competitors would be a bonus, not a deterrent.

This has happened so many times throughout history. New tech comes in, does the same thing cheaper and better, old companies die out kicking and screaming.
