I think this meets definition of a monopoly. Not all industries are easy for competition, but less and less so. We used to have phone monopoly. At&t produced wonderful phones that attached beautifully to the wall and always worked. Nobody wants them anymore somehow/ Do you think if AT&T stayed a monopoly we would have phones in the pockets, sending pictures and messages around, for better or worse? Similar problems are in defense. In all cases, if you focus on market solutions, you can always find some ideas to try, and from experience, there is “nothing to lose”. For example, there is an idea of having insurance work across state lines. Who can be against it? (except the monopolists).
