"So, why are we doing this?" I think there are a lot of reasons. Market share, control of technology, not invented here syndrome, ego issues, fads, shifting focus on specific set of problems. I personally think that OO proliferati

On 4, I mean that your legal status is usually a contractor one (i.e. you're not protected by the laws covering workers/employees). Yet you are not paid by the hour or by deliverables as usual contractors are.

Speaking reasonably and from an ecologic point of view you're 100% right. But for the current economic system simple sustenance, i.e. not growing, is similar to death. It's much like a shark, if it stops moving it cannot breathe.
