Ten years ago was 2014 - Sun, HP, Apple and Google were all very much "old hat" and entrenched. Hell, HP was in the process of significantly cutting back it's business and eliminating jobs[1] (34,000 lost jobs in 2013 and ~16,000 in 2014 is an interesting "positive externality" lol). There was no ecosystem producing them, they were the people who were either running SV, or realizing that their time in the sun was coming to an end.
