On how many computers (not your own and not as a part of your job) you have installed Firefox yourself?
On how many phones you have installed Firefox personally?
How many calls you have attended to solve Firefox related issues?
How many childhood friends you have fought (verbally) insisting to use Firefox? Not just one time but for years.
You didn’t comment on usability points I’ve mentioned of GIMP or LibreOffice… Ohh that’s right, you could not.
As per your logic, how apple was able to sell even a single iphone when Windows Mobile was there already?
With a better product or some unexplainable magic?
That’s exactly what Chrome did initially. They built a better product, when apparently Mozilla/Firefox executives were in deep cryogenic sleep.
Why Chrome was able to beat internet explorer. Android was not a thing back then, hence no monopoly/no default installations.
Why people are paying many times more on apple/samsung phones when far cheaper options are available in hundreds?
Can you name a single country on earth, where only apple/samsung phones are allowed to sell… so they can be called duopoly/monopoly.
In August of 1997 Bill Gates invested US$ 150 million to save apple, at a time when sony had market cap of US$ 34.86 and apple had just US$ 1.68 billion.
So, why apple was able to beat sony (which was dominant player in portable music) in music player business with ipods and hence started its meteoric rise?

What monopoly is at play with VLC player?
You didn’t mention any VLC installation numbers. Well it can be installed from many places on Android but here’s just one source, play store.
It’s over 100 million.

As per your view, why people even use VLC?
What monopoly was at play when Firefox had 32.21 percent market share?

What monopoly was at play when Google launched in 1998? Yahoo was there already. Why people chose Gmail, when Hotmail, Yahoo and many others were there already.
Why small, medium or large device makers use Linux kernel? I’ve never read Linus Torvalds paying billions to corporations.
I can go on but I have to catch a flight.
I’m not gonna argue with you anymore as I find your worldview incredibly narrow/selective.
I think this is why Mozilla is at 3.36 % marker share as Mozilla might be surrounded by people/publications that keep repeating, “Everything is fine, no need to change anything at all”.
Though I use Tubular (NewPipe fork) and don’t need a timer but, always sleeps faster listening weather report of a remote country.
