Why don't we have just one company for each product/service? Like phones, for example. There are a bunch of different companies making basically the same products. But each company is developing their technology independently and keeping secrets from the others. If there was just one company then it would avoid the massive duplication and they could pool their knowledge to make even better products.

Why is the market like.... free? Why can't the only phone company in existence sell phones for over 9000$? That'd be better

Because Americans are allowed to start companies. One single company in each sector means building a business is illegal. Business is a huge part of making money and financial freedom for millions.
