First, stating facts is not "arguing". 

Second, you clearly have no idea what a monopoly is.  Another fact. 

Third, I know how the internet works. Is Google making any money by me posting
this? Is Apple? 

Google is not a monopoly. There are multiple alternatives.  No one is forced
to use Google (or Apple). Being popular and making lots of money for
stockholders is not the definition of "monopoly".
