Why do you say that? I reckon lots and lots of companies sell software that aren’t monopolies. Having competition, even stiff competition, isn’t anathema to running a business.
Just to clarify, I’m not the person you initially replied to.

Hoarding them— not selling any of them, but instead using them internally and selling the products created by them — doesn’t at all seem like it would require a monopoly.
