Part of the question is if we should rely on a single company for so many different things. A company that’s controlled by only two people.

This is maybe not an issue today, but what happens once the founders die and their inheritors take over control? Children of founders tend to purely focus on profit, and such a focus might lead to a Google led in the way Comcast is led today.

And I don’t want to see a Google, Amazon, etc – likely even larger than now – with such leadership. Ideally we wouldn’t leave that much power to such a low number of people we can’t even elect.
