You can’t have that percentage be higher than 20%, & have it work right.
50% & you’ve already reduced that market-segment to a 2-horse race or monopoly.
You have to prevent that, XOR you’re creating a national-dependency on “too big to fail” corporation, which is certain, sooner or later, to become a national footgun.
Agree that a maximum of 20-25% market share (so a 4 or 5 horse race) makes it a more fair fight, admittedly on nothing but vibes and experience. And markets without the competition require any majority holder to help competitors gain a foothold and create the competition. This would minimise desire to create monopolies as they would be forced into breaking them.
I know in practice this would never happen but I’m talking hypotheticals here.
