Okay, I see the mixup.
Dor Yeshorim has cornered a niche market. They perform a specific service very well and are the only ones to do so.
If a competing service opened up doing exactly the same thing, let’s call it Shprintzy’s COMPLETELY Non-Yentaish Genetic Testing Service, and thereafter Dor Yeshorim said that you could not be tested by their service if you were going to have Shprintzy doing so as well, then the whole monopoly shpiel would be true.
HOWEVER: the fact that the word monopoly was brought into this in the first place is unfortunate, because it’s obfuscated the point. The fact is that Dor Yeshorim hasn’t got any competitors, meaning that for better or for worse, this is all on their terms. That’s really it. I’m not saying it’s a pernicious monopoly, I’m honestly not. Their reason makes sense even if I disagree. Until Shprintzy opens up a new service, that’s the way it will continue to be. Dor Yeshorim has their logic for doing what they do, and that’s fine.
This isn’t even tangent^2 anymore- it’s tangent x 10^23.
It’s been real, though.
