FAANG companies understand full well that that at their scale they cannot go into e.g. the hardware market like ordinary consumers, and demand something that perfectly meets their requirements at minimum cost in the quantities they require off the BestBuy shelf. They're going to have to do some custom R&D, partner with suppliers, grow products either internally or for which they are the first / primary customer, acquire relevant startups, make long term purchase contracts, etc. I don't see why the same wouldn't be true of the labor market.
