They don't find that state of affairs intolerable in practice, otherwise they would have already taken steps to not only avoid themselves to use GAFAMs, but also to associate themselves with businesses whose websites don't work if you block requests to GAFAMs and/or only have Android/iOS apps. And started doing it years ago. (I can bet they didn't, because otherwise I expect that they would have give examples how they did so, this article being a perfect opportunity.) Instead, if you scroll down, they themselves have a Github account ! It's a bit like a doctor complaining about the prevalence of lung cancer, while themselves chain-smoking in their own practice, during patient consultations.
