Monopolies are illegal, unless a special exemption is granted by congress. The Sherman Act, the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act all prohibit the creation of monopolies. There is no such thing as "unchecked competition" in the U.S.

You've cited some examples of market share leadership, but none of those corporations are currently known to be in violation of U.S. antitrust statutes. And a whole division of the U.S. Justice Department (the Antitrust Division) is there to keep an eye on them, with business practices heavily enforced and litigated.
