It's not surprising; it's frustrating and abusive. I'm not blaming them for acting like a company; I'm blaming the conditions that allow them to become abusive monopolies with no incentive to invest in infrastructure.
Well, that's fair. And FWIW, I agree with you. But my frustration isn't with companies or corporations, it's with the cavalcade of idiots theoretically responsible for regulating them and generally structuring the market to produce desirable outcomes.
That's where our collective ire ought to be concentrated. Whenever someone starts railing about the evils of corporations, it's generally a (conscious or unconscious) distraction from the true culprits: regulators or overseers who aren't doing their job.
