Having a "monopoly" isn't illegal.

Using your "monopoly" position to pick winners and losers is.

Small addendum, I believe having an unfair monopoly is actually illegal in the US. Google search is currently on the hook for this.

Yeah, it's not just the market position.

It's how you gain the market position and what you do with it.

Correct, anticompetitive behavior on its own is legal, so is a monopoly, both at the same time are illegal
