> In many ways, Biden, by taking on four multi-trillion dollar firms in a way that Obama could never have imagined, is forcing a reckoning. Because what Biden is doing is actually hopeful, not because it makes us feel good, but because it is a reordering of the political hierarchies who structure our lives in ways that foster alienation. It makes us look at the sparkling liars who tell us pretty fables, like Apple, and decide whether we want to be adults, or whether we want to go on allowing ourselves to be ruled by our “betters.”

To me this gets to the heart of the issue. Many people think that because Apple makes great products we should just let them do whatever they want, even if it's anti-competitive.
