> quasi-monopoly

AKA, not a monopoly.

Monopoly is such a funny buzzword to me because it's both wildly misused and completely misunderstood to be an inherently bad thing.

In reality, there is rarely a true monopoly and the only bad thing about them is that they enable anti-competitive behavior and that's the thing that's illegal and bad.

Amazon "quasi-monopoly" comes from having the best service. Great service is good for consumers.
