They were. Most of them caught up to what the rideshare companies do and rideshares act more like taxis. Same with TSA pre-check vs Clear and broadcast vs cable/satellite/streaming. Or shopping online is a bit different with Amazon making a demand or online shopping and now anyone can do the same two day shipping if they wish.

It’s the streaming service effect. You bring private capitalism in for convenience and you make jack up the price over time, you start seeing the holes in the plan, they lobby the government. But this whole time no one complained about this to the original because you didn’t know you wanted something, it was good enough.

The original of something was always there and protected in and out with regulations local to federal.
