> Only in the most egregious of cases.

Everything is egregious. Private equity is buying up everything, and the only things it doesn't control are what big data got to first. Everything is owned by soulless amoral demons who never sleep.

Employers are mining data to find the exact minimum salary each candidate will accept.

Airlines are working to charge every customer the maximum they can stomach.

Landlords are using companies to fix prices while claiming they're not fixing prices.

Grocery stores want in on it. Healthcare wants in on it. Everything is doing what you claim the "most egregious cases" are.
