He didn't miss the point. You're missing the point that if these people soured the US because it was hard to immigrate, they are being very hypocritical. It's hard to immigrate anywhere ("crap treatment"), including

I can't see battery pickup working except as a once per year kind of thing. And around me, there is a once per year electronics recycling pickup in my neighborhood. Also, "take it somewhere" isn't that bad when "s

I agree it’s a moat, but why would azure restrain competition from google? I think it’s just yet another example of an anti-abuse collateral damage, like email anti-spam blocking small unknown servers or Cloudflare blocking unknown IPs.
