It‘s a duopoly and I doubt the US will tackle this problem. At least the EU has started doing something about it.
US won't tackle it because it's a hegemon and in mercantilist terms benefits from it.
The EU and everybody else are, in fact, interested in changing this.
But - if nobody remembers, there was a certain TRON Project in Japan. Read up how it ended. Now, US threatening Japan with trade sanctions to preserve some oligopoly and US threatening EU with trade sanctions with the same goal are two different things, the latter is harder.
EDIT: And I don't want this to rub someone in a wrong way, but this is a rare case where something possibly called "states' rights" could have made sense. If the federal government was stripped of ability to do such things.
You‘re right. That‘s why we need a strong EU and multilateral partnerships to counter US and Chinese ambitions.
