As an airline passenger, do I care whether or not Alaska, or American has the biggest network?

I want to get from point A to point B, as cheaply as possible. If the Alaska flight is the cheapest, I'll take it. If the American flight is the cheapest, I'll take that.

I have no brand loyalty for airlines. I have no brand loyalty for taxi companies. Why should I have brand loyalty for taxi-in-an app?

How can Uber leverage their scale? Are you saying they are going to price-dump to push me out of a regional market? Isn't that illegal, and something that our esteemed President complains about on a regular basis?

I'm not sure 'Become so big, and engage in blatantly anti-consumer monopoly behaviour to the point that you are practically begging to be put on an anti-trust trial' is a great moat to have.
