There are ways to get more diversity within indexing itself. eg: small cap index, value index funds. It seems like the bone of contention is that indexes track the entire market based on trading volume, and that is an existential risk given cap weighting. Many now invest in total market indices, which limits the impact of large cap companies. The "cap weighting" problem is a known issue in indexing and this is why you invest in total market, small cap, mid cap indices.
