That was a pretty, fictional resolution to an oversimplified fictional
conflict. But abstracting it out even that is an example of exactly why the
antitrust laws exist. Antitrust laws protect the government and the public
from companies having so much control that we are beholden to them. It's to
ensure that democracy is maintained and we don't all become serfs of the
corporations.
In Atlas Shrugged, Reardon was the protagonist so he was shown in a good
light and everyone else was one-dimensional sketches of greed and envy. In
the real world, the situations and motivations are always much more
complicated and convoluted.
