Maybe the next million new jobs is just rebuilding a reasonable level of customer support at all tech companies, funded by modest usage fees This already exist

Maybe the next million new jobs is just rebuilding a reasonable level of customer support at all tech companies, funded by modest usage fees This already exists. It's why if you have a certain bank balance, when you call the bank a human in your own country picks up and speaks to you in your native tongue immediately. And if you don't have a certain bank balance, you sit on hold for 90 minutes and are repeatedly told how important your call is.

That's called competition. Banks interoperating with each other means competitors serving different segments of the market can spring up. Google does not interoperate and effectively has a monopoly on web search, web video (YouTube) and is one of the two evils owning the mobile market (the other being Apple). There is no way for a competitor to emerge because it just wouldn't be able to interoperate with any of these services.
