A government is by definition a monopoly. No company can become large enough to be like a government unless it has government backing. E.g. Walmart was feared to be becoming a monopoly by running smaller shops out of business and yet Amazon was still able to compete. Eventually someone else will outcompete both, as long as the government doesn't step in to protect them.
