ArcGIS has essentially no competition in their industry and market. The open source alternatives are not as fully featured, etc…
It’s roughly the same story as with MS Office vs its alternatives. They exist, but 99% of enterprises will use only the Microsoft suite.
But that doesn't imply being monopolistic, does it? It's just the only game in town unless they're killing off the competition.
