You should care who invents technology. If you make laws such as patent laws that work to suppress innovators (ironically), then you will be left with a stagnant monopoly.

Companies like Apple will come and go as the markets collapse under the new monopolies. Forward thinkers will replace them. It's the same story over and over.
