None of that big wall of text seems to directly address anything I actually said.

The only thing worse than pedantry is wrong pedantry. Your attempt at correcting me here is wrong because The absence of the kinds of policies you would like to see is still policy.
In other words, not everything that goes wrong with an industry is the result of the government not doing what you wish it would do.
And to be more specific, even those things that go wrong because of government policy are not necessarily caused by oligarchic influence.
