So why is there no competition arising, simply with some fries, burgers, soda and without this bullshit.
Oh, I remembered, it's all patented to hell. It's practically illegal to open a fast food place not in one of these franchises.
Same with many other areas of life. The Web and computers are the most obvious.
Rats and cockroaches have conquered the kitchen. While many people in bureaucracies and everywhere were thieves and parasites, that still wasn't socially acceptable. They didn't like it, so now it's almost official that the world is ruled by thieves and parasites and they are better than honest people. This IMHO also explains all the "geopolitical" stuff happening - it's not to any practical end, the common thing between all (Western\Russian\whatever) policies is ideological, that decency should be murdered, dignity should be punished, and honesty should be poisoned. All the "rules" and "competition" and "civilization" stuff was (in the eyes of those people) being grown like livestock to be slaughtered for meat eventually.
300 years from now this time is going to be called the start of the new dark ages, or the end of the thaw (Soviet analogy here), or something like that.
