I don't think this is the actual thought process.
But I do think that this points at an important question which, if we understood the true answer, to would shed light on some common questions of politics.
Why do the uber-rich care about this sort of thing?

What motivates Jeff Bezos at this point?
Is he just conditioned to try and get richer? It's basically and addiction at this point?
I would guess that he's still mostly motivated by the idea of building Amazon bigger and better.

Noting that "what's his motivation?" is not a crux for me.
In general, I'm in favor of the likes of Jeff Bezos having "more power", because he's demonstrated an extremely rare ability to build machines that can do genuinely new things and create huge amounts of value.

(Where an an important crux for me is "No really, this is extremely rare. Almost no one can build machines that do new things.")
You should break up the tech giants after their founders have been dead 10 years and their companies start to turn into bloated, sclerotic, bureaucratic, rent-seekers.
But not before. Don't kill the goose laying your golden eggs.
