I’ve been using software products past 25 years, and been developing them for quite a while, in my opinion scale of a company has a minor relevancy to software quality after a certain size. I never worked at google but I’m willing to bet giant firms like Google have bunch of problems with their organization size which limits their code quality, product delivery times, and their agileness. A smaller, more agile company can definitely produce better products than Google (case in point: protonmail). It will decrease income inequality because profits will go to different shareholders / employees.

> , in my opinion scale of a company has a minor relevancy to software quality after a certain size. Possible, but I didn't talk about software quality, I talked about number of users. > (case in point: protonmail). I think your case undermines your argument. Protonmail is not a very successful product. It is behind even many paid mail services. If that is your idea of success then sure, many small companies will become like protonmail, while tencent mail might become the new gmail.
