Answer to Question 1

(1.) Rent-seeking behavior consumes resources.
(2.) The government becomes a tool of the rent seeker.

Answer to Question 2

Once you have purchased a cell phone you are likely to have a more price inelastic demand for the accessories. Even though it would be nice to shop around the accessories of the competitors products are typically not interchangeable and in any event you likely have a two-year contract with your service provider that makes shopping around unattractive.
