In your comment above you've suggested two terms that fit better: "Duopoly" and "cartel".

Anti-competitive actions should be combated, but why do people insist that anything has to do with being a "monopoly"?

To draw a comparison, in criminal cases the courts will not determine if an accused is "a bad hombre" – they will determine if he committed the crime or not.

This is like those people (and lawmakers sadly) who try to define any sexual offense as "rape". Thinking that the severity of the crime is only tied to one single word.
