I think it's pretty hard to argue that private companies are good and ethical at operating natural monopolies. History and all evidence is not on your side. I'll list a few examples: the California blackouts after electrical deregulation, the Bolivian water crisis after water supplies were privatized, the abuses of companies like Comcast in the US, etc.
Even Adam Smith warned of natural monopolies. Nearly any economist will tell you letting them be private and under-regulated is nuts.
The same with healthcare. Why is every other first world country able to get objectively better health outcomes for less money with universal healthcare? How is our system better?
