What happened during covid was the forcible closing of thousands of small businesses. Corporations don’t cate about excuses they only care about opportunity. When their competition got forcibly closed by the government, their opportunity appeared.

This wasn’t the market in action. This was the government forcibly closing these businesses by centralized decree.
The lockdowns actively killed competition. Competition is the natural check on greed in a free market. The market was enormously consolidated during the period when small stores had to either survive on their savings or perish, while large stores were allowed to remain open.
