I don't know anyone that isn't taking Amazon or Apple seriously now. Lots of people don't take Meta or Alphabet seriously, but still buy or click online advert

  I'd say Amazon is the most "serious" of them, but only the import/export side of the business. Apple basically just sells boutique whitegoods. If any of these companies ceased to exist, it wouldn't inconvenience anyone other the shareholders.

    Well, one could imagine some small inconvenience if Gmail disappeared...

    Seems like your definition of "serious business" probably amounts to about 10% of the overall economy at this point? It doesn't seem very relevant or useful.

      How does that reflect on the usefulness of the economy
