I agree. However, in a winner-takes-all situation, this essentially leads to an endgame of 13 engineers build something. Investors take 95% of the winnings. 20 people get a lot of money and everybody else sits on the sides. If we don't undo the winner-takes-all nature of tech (by forcing open protocols and mandatory interoperability) then tech will continue being a dystopian situation of take-all-never-innovate while relying on the difficulties of the network effect to prevent millions of brilliant ideas to never see the light of day.
