they where already big when they systematically broke this laws

breaking this laws is what lifted them from big, to supper marked dominant to a point where they have monopoly like power

that is _never_ good for everyone, or even good for the majority long term

what is good for everyone (but a few rich people and sometimes the US government) is proper fair competition. It drives down prices and allows people to vote with their money, a it is a corner stone of the American dream it pushes innovation and makes sure a country isn't left behind. Monopoly like companies on the other hand tend to have exactly the other effect, higher prices (long term), corruption, stagnating innovation, and a completely shattered American sound pretty bad for the majority of Americans.
