That's literally not true though. They compete with each other over offering the lowest price.

That's funny. In reality they compete on increasing shareholder profits by colluding on prices and paying their employees as little as possible. And to be crystal clear "they" are the CEOS/boards of most major companies.

This is not at all how businesses operate lol

I'd love to see the rock you live under but it absolutely is how most large corporations operate. You quote economic theories as if they are fact, I'm speaking on the history of how large corporations have acted literally my entire life.

Unlike you, I work with senior leaders at big corporations. It is most assuredly not how they operate.
