Unlikely since the FTC keeps letting them merge.

And it's not just tech. Pretty much everything you buy is from a brand that's owned by one of a handful of companies.

    I mean that's not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They've been shut down a lot by the courts.
