When visiting a site you have the choice to visit or not. Site owners have the choice of what to put up and how to host it.

That's like asking the government to break up the react framework because more sites are using it and you have no jquery option.

Not really — my option is basically "indirectly support AWS" or "forego large swaths of the Internet." Site owners have to choose between directly supporting AWS, indirectly supporting AWS via intermediary services that use it, or giving up the economies of scale that AWS's dominance allows.

This is not analogous. AWS is a company. React is an open source project.


Would anything meaningfully change if React was a paid product?
