IMO, this notion applies to garage tinkerers and should not apply to billionaires or their corporations
The reasons should be obvious, but a garage tinkerer has a finite reach in whom his work can impact
The same isn't true of the wealthy elite and corporations. Who very plainly have the ability, in modern society, to impact just about every human on the planet.
It's as if, on one hand, we recognize government must be reigned in because of the immense reach of their power, but ignore the same problems when it's Bill Gates.
Propaganda is a powerful thing.
