Hardly a monopoly.

No doubt they would be willing to discuss being bought out, for a
suitable price - see the various PFIs like Tramlink which TfL has been
buying out. Anyone going to put up the cash?

It should be
incorporated into the London public transport network like pretty well every
other airport train service in the world.

Lots of airport links are distinct from the general city transport
network, whether stand-alone operations like Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok,
pricey-even-by-local-standards like Stockholm or just charging a
supplement like Madrid Metro.
