    It's hard to block mergers based on a company involved being a monopoly if none of the companies involved are monopolies or will become monopolies.

    Regulators have to come up with a different set of rules to block "large but not monopolistic mergers" without also just effectively protecting the actual leader in a given industry from competition.
