...it’s really hard to see how that isn’t going down the road of ‘might makes right’ for consolidation in a lot of industries so long as you’ve got the money.

I don't see at as "might makes right" but that blocking mergers in these types of situations is effectively protecting the market leader from competition. Which is the opposite of the goal for things like anti-trust issues.
