My belief is that every company listed there, plus quite a few more, can be wholesale replaced by a single generalized platform that distills and incorporates patterns from each. Probably something more in the idealized spirit of what the internet was originally intended to be. Of course, when you boil raw sewage the end result isn't usually potable water. Nevermind that overcoming the network effects of existing platforms is also nothing short of a herculean feat. Definitely possible, though.
