Well I have to stand by my theory that unfettered market forces favor monopolization and without a control this is Bitcoins future.

You are welcome to your opinion. At this time, the market seems to be favoring the success of bitcoin, but only time will tell if the current market beliefs are correct or if you are.

Perhaps what is required is something like the reverse of difficulty where the fee goes to zero if the network goes to one on some kind of sliding scale with maximum return at a level of ideal security. Easy to implement.

Easy to say, doesn't mean easy to implement. If it is so much better, and so easy to implement, feel free to create your own crypto-currency based on your beliefs. If yours is truly better, then it should win out in the long run.

I suspect that you'll discover that such a system isn't as easy to implement as you seem to believe it is, and that it very well may not be better.
