Consumer goods scale through advertising and advertising is a monopolistic business where the monopolists’ growth is increasingly due to price discrimination.

The consumer product is the commodity, Google/FB/Amazon have a monopoly on the attention products need.

In logistics: planes, warehouses, and trucks are commodities. Trains more monopolistic, but that I’m not 100% sure about.

so your original tweet says * people are selling widgets, and that's a commodity game, so the win is to be the tech monopoly that provides consumers (via marketing) * trucks & warehouses are commodity, so win is to be tech monopoly that ... what? provides customers for T & W ?

No, there IS no monopoly on shipping, especially in the last mile delivery and special cargo. It is very fragmented.
