The cat is out of the bag and long gone.

People got used to the simplicity of centralized services, and corpos made great efforts to make everything 1-click.

So when the average users need to do more than 1-click, they won’t use the software.

It would help if anti-trust laws were applied and these mega-corpos got broken in a thousand pieces. Centralized monolith services would have a harder time to thrive and give space to federation/decentralization.

Capitalism has distilled its parasitic behaviour down to a science to suck the life out of anything that dare to stand out, and leave its corpse dry, for the sake of more profits.

Boring is ok for 95% of the things.

It is how its done today.

Every semi-big or big corpos gamble their money trying to be the one coming on top and capture the market.

So it is not surprising to see that.
