some times two "competitors" using the same type of infrastructure in the same geographic region.

The problem with ISPs as an example is that in the US, ISPs work on a model that would be described as a "cartel" in Europe and be highly illegal. It's constructed to give the illusion of choice, but it's vanishingly rare in most parts of the country to have more than one,

And the larger of a corporation that owns that service or IP at the top level, the less likely they are to ensure any more than bare-minimum functionality purely out of the goodness of their shriveled little hearts.

Based on my time in the agriculture, automotive, and tech industries, my experience is that any time you have a captive audience created by monopoly/duopoly or regionalized cartel business structure, the lack of competition always reduces the pressure on the provider to provide adequate service.

As the old saying goes, nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.

Cloudflare is a critical service that much of the internet relies on to function. When they go down, they take most of the internet with them. The tech industry loves putting all its eggs in one fragile basket.
