The idea that there need not be winners and looser but that the
competition itself is the goal seems to elude you. If the final goal is
for all major market share holding companies to win out over all their
competitors then there will be 5 kolchozes producing all consumer goods
you will ever need, decide what is best for you, and not care a s**t what
you really want or need. This has been done before on a grand scale in
countries formerly known as 'communist'. Of course you don't want that ?

Also it would completely obliterate what is known today as the stock
market (which mostly makes its living out of handling bets on who is going
to be 1% stronger (or weaker) that someone else now or within a certain
given timeframe).
