I sort of agree with you, but I think the distinction is that the behaviors of Apple, Google, and Amazon aren't solely intended to lock in their marketshare. And, they all three compete with each other now, though in different ways. I think what Elizabeth Warren is expressing, and I agree with it, is that these large monied companies control a growing part of our digital lives. We, as users and consumers, are largely powerless to find alternatives because the barriers to entry are so large that it is almost impossible for competitors to arise. I like Senator Warren quite a bit, but I think we'd be better served if she and other legislators focused her efforts on regulations around privacy, continued work on network neutrality, and making sure that government-funded research is open to all.
