What if by letting this anti-competitive monopolies survive, we are getting future better ‘everyday experiences’ killed in their cribs?

- scarface_74 3y agoWell, we have three examples of well resourced companies that weren’t able to compete in the smart phone market - Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. You really think a little startup is going to be able to do hardware at scale? Was it big bad Apple that killed all of those phones or maybe it is just consumers made a choice using their own free will? You really think that the startups didn’t have “being bought by a big company” as an exit strategy in the first place? Out of all the companies that YC has funded (1000+) only six have ever gone public. Were all the little companies that Apple acquired to integrate into their phone in an alternate universe going to create a phone?
