    I would only argue with this piece:

    The money here ultimately comes from the company’s customers if they win (since it results in higher prices)

    Prices have been divorced from costs and are more based on “what the market will bear”. This only would be true if markets were actually competitive, and the fines encompassed a large amount of the supply side, neither of which is true. Fines like this are borne by the company books.
