It's not as simple as that, which is why e. g. laws to control monopolies exist. Just look at the recent changes in rulings regarding essential services, right to repair etc.

This is really an outdated, "the market will regulate itself" perspective that has been shown time and again to not work - people just get fucked by corporations.
