The issue is that a good number of products are only available through Amazon, and a metric ton of services that people depend on are owned by Google.

Just saying "don't use Amazon or Google" is almost tantamount to saying "don't eat food" or "don't drink water".

Should that be the case? No. But right now, it is.
