Do you think that's a viable solution? When the market fails to deliver what consumers and voters want, to ignore what caused or allowed that failure, because "nothing's stopping you"*? And when the new competitor abandons their idealism (or gets bought out) and decides they too will increase profit by sabotaging their machines?

*Except network effects, lock-in, sunk-cost, the significant technological and financial edge of existing companies, startup costs,..
