Don't underestimate the deep desire for enterprises to group together to stifle innovation and protect moats:

Phoebus Cartel (1924): GE, Osram, Philips, and other lightbulb manufacturers secretly agreed to reduce bulb lifespan from 2,500 hours to 1,000 hours. The technology for better bulbs existed. They deliberately suppressed it to protect recurring revenue and fined members who made bulbs that lasted too long.

Auto Industry "Smog Conspiracy" (1953-1969): GM, Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors conspired through their trade group, the Automobile Manufacturers Association, to suppress pollution-control technology for 16 years. They agreed that no company would go forward with a new innovation unless the others approved. They also bought up patents from outside firms to keep those innovations from reaching the market. The DOJ sued them in 1969.

LCD Price-Fixing Cartel (1999-2006): Samsung, LG, Sharp, AU Optronics, and Chunghwa held secret monthly meetings codenamed "Crystal Meetings" to fix prices on LCD panels used in TVs, laptops, and phones. The conspiracy covered $71.9 billion in panel sales worldwide. Criminal fines exceeded $1.3 billion across the US, EU, and Asia. Samsung received DOJ immunity for turning on the others.

Pharma Pay-for-Delay (ongoing): Brand-name drugmakers pay generic competitors not to enter the market. The FTC estimates this costs consumers $3.5 billion per year. The innovation exists, the cheaper drugs are ready, but access is deliberately gated through backroom agreements between supposed competitors.

Silicon Valley No-Poach Agreements (2005-2009): Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Pixar, and Lucasfilm secretly agreed not to recruit each other's engineers, suppressing wages while publicly competing. Steve Jobs personally enforced the pacts. They settled for $415M after evidence showed the agreements reduced wages by roughly 5.6%.

Standard Oil + Railroad Trusts (1870s-1910s): Rockefeller and the major railroads (Pennsylvania, Erie, New York Central) formed the South Improvement Company to rig shipping costs. Standard Oil received secret rebates on its own shipments plus kickbacks on every barrel its competitors shipped. Smaller refiners were priced out regardless of product quality. The railroads cooperated because guaranteed volume from Rockefeller was more valuable than a fair market.

@jbulltard1 If you really want something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse. Not sure whose quote was that, but I find it true.
