Then, a few years later when many companies leave the market due to price, we're left with less competition.
We will not have less competition because of price or dumping. We will have less competition because the natural dynamics of platforms is to tend towards monopoly, because of lock-in effects of consumer investment in stuff that works with the platform combined with the economies of scale of making things work really well with any one platform.
It upsets me that your misguided wall of a rant is taking up so much space on this otherwise interesting discussion!
