Megacorps only need to benefit a large number of people, where democracies need to benefit a majority. In theory.

Not at all. See “concentrated benefits and diffuse costs”.
It is not that simple. Policy can increase or decrease competition. Breaking up Ma Bell as an example. Overall governments increase standards which can lead to few players but it can also help an industry grow quicker and allow for more complex/value products/services which creates an industry around it helping support it (shopify)
> Breaking up Ma Bell as an example. The Ma Bell monopoly was created by government in the first place.

But perhaps they wish companies became independent of the Federal Reserve, and more in control of the value of their own currency, both in terms of exchange rates and the ends to which they can be used or not.
They also happen to be a conglomerate who’s a EULA-change away from pushing at the very least millions if not more people into this. From a person’s point of view there’s no freedom to be gained here and those people generally tend to be about personal freedom.

The libertarians, perhaps, yes. But not the anarcho-capitalists, who will always defend the right to property and freedom of agency in the markets above all other things. Which includes minting your own coin, if you choose to do so.
