> Why not build a society where everybody is building their own business, and we connect them all together?
Because most people are not capable of that, or they would not want to.
> Why does Google have to build their own browser? Why does Tesla have to build their own GPUs and Amazon their own datacenters?
Because only they have sufficient capital and expectation of return and intimate knowledge of the space to scratch their own itch.

Because most people are not capable of that i find that extremely condescending. some may not want to, fine, but many also live in an environment where building your own business is being discouraged and made difficult. but for most, it is probably just that it takes more effort to build a business than to get a job. how come that the countries with the most entrepreneurs are all in 2nd or 3rd world countries? uganda having the highest with 28% of the population having their own business. i very much doubt that capacity has anything to do with it, only willingness and need. many people in uganda probably have their own business because they have no other alternatives. but still, the idea of a society where everyone is building their own business is totally possible. all it takes is the right attitude and willingness.
