Great points. This is one reason I think it's important to build on protocols. It's attempt to "lock things open" and foster competition from the beginning. For example, my product TakingNames[0] builds on a simple, open OAuth2 protocol for delegating authority over domains. Anyone could implement a competing service in a matter of days, forcing me to compete on quality/price/etc. Another project I have is focused on bringing tunneling a la ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel to the masses. There are many[1] tunneling services. This will be the first one built on a simple, open protocol for both auth and transit.
