antitrust law considers things like substitutability. It refers to the degree to which consumers can replace a good or service with a close alternative, considering factors like price, quality, and performance. Conversely, if there are no close substitutes and consumers are less likely to switch, the relevant market might be narrower. If the barriers to switching are high, the availability of an alternative may not be enough to let a monopolist off the hook.
