This makes zero sense.

Can you name another scenario where consolidation helped the consumer? Where a sweet spot involved more consolidation?

Did Breyer’s ice cream get better when it was purchased by Unilever?

Did your local grocery store chain get better after it was acquired by Kroger or Albertsons?

Did the smartphone market get better when Microsoft acquired Nokia and HP acquired Palm?

What about Hashicorp? Sun Microsystems? Dark Sky? Red Hat? Slack? Nest? Any of these product markets get better post-consolidation?

I struggle to think of a single example of a product category that got better with industry consolidation.
