You could have done maybe 20 seconds of research to find what you posted is not correct "Monopolies don't naturally decay".

Have you ever heard of U.S. Steel, IBM, Kodak, and Western Union?

These monopolies were defeated (or weakened) by new technologies they didn't adopt early enough, not by market forces like competition.

New technologies are indeed how natural competition market forces primarily work.

Hmm... I kind of disagree with that. Technological breakthroughs are not "natural". We shouldn't have to bet on someone discovering something that is able to make NVIDIA obsolete.
