We don't need the free market of 100 alternative products to have user respecting software. We can just legally mandate it. Right now the software and products we have are extremely good and keep getting better. Tech companies aren't just sitting on a legacy of old stuff collecting rent, they are actively investing and keeping their status by simply being the best.
