> The government actually loves monopolies because it makes monitoring citizens easier.

You make it sound like the government is a single person with a plan. I don’t think people and departments in a government are very coherent and aligned, it’s a huge number of people with a zoo of mandates and everyone is fighting to be seen as somebody who makes things happen



In this case the incentives align. Much easier dealing with one or two parties than many.
