> Or: "they are a company depending on just one commercial product". Doesn't look that good anymore hm? Actually it does. They depend on selling their product

  > They depend on selling their product to security-savy users No they don't. They just need some good advertising and they can sell to people who didn't even know they need it (fear works very well here). Really tech savy users will just move on if they don't like something or won't even come in because it's not open source or because of data thrift. The untechy customer will stick to what he has. On the other side: if there is just one company better then them, with better advertising they'll have to see how they can get money with just this product. There are many creative solutions out there. A sheer endless horizon of possibilities I don't even want to think about.

  > They depend on selling their product to security-savy users, so they will ensure it's quality. This is a dangerously naive attitude.
