To be clear, I mostly agree with you. But: > Will this effort make it harder to build public infrastructure in the future? It might. Things like this are frequently invoked in policy arguments to claim public efforts are unnecessary or ideologically suspect. Again, that's not to say this is a wrong-headed effort, but not being clear-eyed about the role of patchwork private efforts in public policy arguments is unhelpfully naive.
