I do not understand how your message disagrees (or has anything to do with) my
message.  I made no comment about Bill Gates' shrewdness, realism,
self-destructiveness, or looks.

My only comment is that a monopoly IS legal in the USA, but once declared a
monopoly, a company is legally obligated to play by different rules, designed to
prevent that company from using its monopoly in one area to gain excessive
advantages in other areas.
