If an entity has a product that has a trillion people choosing it, the marginal benefit to society to build an entirely new product for 1000 people or so isn't worth it. The people whose time would be required to produce that second product for a very, very small 1,000 person market would better serve society by working on other goals.
replyNor should those 1,000 people get to try to use the government to tell the other trillion what product they should have to buy.
Nobody is trying to bar anyone from anything. We are talking about options. We need ways out, otherwise it's an unfair market and all we get is enshittification.
replyBut if the 1000 are persuading others with meaningful benefits and gaon momentum it's a different story.
replyIt's really not. Not when they make it impossible to use government and banking services without Google play services.
