Yeah, everyone's known that platform dependence is risky, and every decade or so we "learn our lesson" but then forget the moment the next cool platform comes along if it has enough users.
Developers go where the money goes. The money goes where the users go. The users don't know the difference between a walled garden and a free ecosystem.
It’s almost like the companies with more money than governments and complete control over what content users see might shape the world to keep their profits high.
One way to tell if a conspiracy is crazy is if it doesn’t benefit rich people. This pretty clearly passes that test.
You don't have to believe conspiracy theories to think centralization is bad. Sometimes bullshit "they" don't want you to know about is still bullshit.
