Big companies become big because they find a loophole and way to exploit it. Normal businesses don't get big. This is an anomaly, an edge case. We need regulation that will be dividing companies when they become too big. Just like cells divide in nature. We also need to review offshore ownership and make sure they pay the same tax as smaller businesses. You cannot have a small struggling shop paying 40% and big guy only 1% if anything.

That's a non sequitur. A lot of "normal businesses" became big.
In any case, Apple didn't become big because they found a "loophole". They were on the brink of bunrupcty and become big because they put out product after product that people liked: the first iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad.
And they didn't even compete on cheaper prices, undercuttting the competition by throwing VC money (a trick Amazon did): they did it while selling only on the higher end of the market, and charging the same or more than their PC/mobile competitors.
Oh, and for the most part they didn't even do it though marketing either. Their ad budget was laughable and less than half to 1/5th compared to competitors for the first 15 years. Heck, Samsung used double to triple Apple's ad budget, and Google used 1/2 Apple's budget on just a single phone product.
