It is harder and harder to economically squat because competition is now seamlessly global for basically everything except infrastructure. Only in a few very limited circumstances is rent seeking even a viable option today - namely those providers with natural monopolies like water/cable etc...

Across all industries, no one is safe from small disruptive providers. Wasn't even close to that case even a few decades ago.
