I suppose what I'm saying is I don't think antitrust is necessarily beneficial for consumers or client businesses. It could be. But generally speaking, large companies pay their employees better, are more likely to comply with regulations, and so on. Having businesses be small for the sake of being small is not necessarily good.
They are more likely to comply with regulations because they effectively get to write them. Smaller is better because a small company doesn't have the resources to corrupt the regulators.
Regulatory capture is a real concern but no, small companies just flagrantly violate the law and get away with it all the time. The stakes are higher for established ones. Many regulations also specifically exempt small companies.
