Is there any evidence that this is the case ? For very big merger (like nvdia and Arm tried) sure, but I can't think of a single time regulator stop a big player from buying a start up.

I'm sure you realize you're asking me to prove a negative? I don't have the ability to prove to you that something didn't happen or why.

What I know is that a lot of deals aren't even being considered that once were, and antitrust is a huge factor in that consideration.
