Not really. Flarm protects their revenue by keeping their protocol closed.
Do you claim that a protocol can be pattented?

Monopoly makes things stagnant and more expensive. DSX provided better
device, for better price. Being CEO of a company you want keep competition
away, but being a consumer I don't understand why you want just one
product? What's more supporting just closed source you force others to buy
just this one only product.

Interoperability is not an issue, as long as protocol is known what DSX has
already shown.

There is no conspiracy in it. Monopoly is a simple fact.
