Having people sign a contract saying they won't intefere with or marginalise the market when gaining control of ultimate power would assuage some of my concerns.

Which authority judges whether someone is engaging into the behavior of intefering with or marginalising the market?

The same authority that decides whether people are engaging in anti-competitive behaviour currently: The courts of law.

They probably wouldn't be very good at it, but it provides some disincentive which isn't there in the more abstract models I think about.
