Microsoft still owns 70% of the PC market 15 years after your hypothetical and is still a "perpetual juggernaut" in that market. Because you don't care about that market and think smartphones are more important doesn't mean the rest of us stop caring about PCs and the harm Microsoft's ongoing monopoly in that market creates.
- arder 2y agoSure, but the "PC Market" isn't anything like what it was. In the data centre their market share probably looks more like 20% and they have almost no presence on mobile. So yes, they continue to dominate 1 sector (and even that they aren't as dominant as they were) but that sector is now just 1 part of a market that has several significant sectors they are not dominant in. It'll likely be the same for Google -they'll continue to be the dominant search engine, but search engines will be significantly less structurally important going forward.
