I suspect this is the future of most businesses. Even today, one person can effectively replicate Microsoft from the early 2000s.

  You say that, yet who has?

  One person can build a $22 billion company (in year 2000 dollars) that sells an operating system used by 97% of personal computers, the world’s most popular office suite, along with a bunch of other software used by virtually every company in the world, and is on the verge of releasing a wildly popular gaming console system? Do you have any examples of this?

    Don’t worry, just give them a year and infinite tokens and they can make windows me. Just have to view their “trust me bro” rating.

    I think you miss the most important bits: - backdoor deals to discourage alternatives, such as moving headquarters to convince people not to use alternatives, - monopoly abuse, - active sabotage of alternative software by intentionally triggering false errors if used with competitors' software (DR DOS), - unleashing Internet Explorer on humanity (which proves that AI can't be that bad if humanity survived that) You know, the stuff that every philantrope like Gates does all the time.
