FYI I wasn't calling your position naive, you actually identified some significant factors. I was just building on your argument. If perfect competition existed, competitors would naturally emerge. Thus there are factors that prevent significant competition from emerging.
The fact that that TI-83 is the recommended calculator in some classrooms—and they are required in others—means that the instruction is geared towards use of the TI-83. Sometimes, even the textbooks give instructions on how to solve problems with a TI-83 specifically. From a student's perspective, the mathematics course gets much more difficult without instructions on how to solve the problem with their most useful tool. From a teacher's perspective, it is much easier to teach a classroom with a single brand of calculator than it is to teach a classroom where every kid has his or her own. The same economies of scale apply to the county level.
The other calculators in the TI-83 price range of $100 from competitors are much more sophisticated, including a color graphing calculator from Casio and a calculator with the capability for 3D graphing from HP. Meanwhile, calculators with similar competency cost about half what the TI-83 costs. I would say that is significant undercutting.
TI gained a monopoly because of economies of scale in education from having a standard calculator. There's nothing necessarily malicious about that. But it is pretty clear that they are exploiting that position to serve their own self-interest, as businesses are wont to do.

That's the one I have. The screen is fucking amazing and the calculator doesn't feel like a brick in my hand.
i was actually doing some poking around and found a graphing calculator that dosen't suck as hard as the TI shit, and it looks like the price has gone down since the last itme i checked http://www.amazon.com/Prizm-FX-CG10-Color-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B00481K4KS
Yo te recomendaria esta: Casio CG10
La use los ultimos 3 años del colegio por que me pedían gráfica y realmente te la enseñaban a usar. Lo que fue contraproducente a la hora de rendir matemática en el CBC y me digan che u/ZellahYT que mierda haces con eso, tenes que aprender todo de nuevo y a mano ahora.
