Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad? (www.digitaltrends.com)

I'm severely alarmed by the amount of people arguing whether or not Steam is a monopoly. You don't need 100% of market share to have monopoly position. Pure monopolies are extremely rare and are almost always state-run companies like for public transport. No anti-monopoly legislation is written in a way to only break up firms with literally 0 competition.
