My position is that I’m surprised by the rule of the law, as you can apparently both be a monopoly, and have (better) products in the same field, easily available, simply because people don’t care to learn alternatives

Why does this surprise you?

I'm confused how something can be a monopolly, when there's alternatives easlily available?

Monopoly doesn't refer to literally a single seller. It's used to refer to disproportionate market power.
