So the article is complaining that companies that chose to create a gated consortium to protect content are exhibiting gatekeeping behaviors and not representing open ideals.
Um, duh?
These entities have elected to participate in two communities - open where it commoditizes their competitors (e.g. Chromium, Netflix service infra) and closed where it protects their differentiation (e.g. Chrome, Netflix licensed content).
As an open community, instead of demanding access to the gated communities, and whining when companies innovate behind walls, we should be building better, richer solutions in the open.
