Your view that "Competition is inherently unfair" is a personal ethical observation I believe. For example, would you view 2 Pizza parlors on the same street as unfair even though they compete for business? What is unfair about this? Perhaps they will both prosper because the demand for pizza is greater than they can both supply. Perhaps one will do better because it has better service or food quality or taste. Legally, unfair competition involves unethical actions that are designed to hurt the other side's business to your benefit. I would view non-competition as unfair because it is a false market in that pricing has no correlation to supply and demand and there is no need to build in quality. All you have to do is look at Microsoft and see what I mean. The pricing for their operating systems has not come down, in fact I believe it has gone up and the quality is very suspect. As a consumer, you have no real choice and must accept all the crap they keep building in to the bloated operating system. Perhaps this is the price you pay to have a universal platform for development which is in many regards a good thing for all of us.
