As an interested newcomer from what I understand I think your diagnosis seems correct which makes me quite sad. I always thought the mixed economy model most (western) countries favour (I am making a bit of a generalisation here) was supposed to prevent a company from monopolizing a market but in electronics we seem to be moving towards having a handful of large companies completely dominating the market. Which is great for the companies, less good for the consumer (especially as in your example with gilette, the price for razor blades is ASTRONOMICAL!)
