All true, but they are also failing at simple stuff. Requiring a closed company's format or services is a monopoly. Especially if "everyone else is doing it". That is when regulators need to step in as it's a market failure when there is a single vendor "everyone is using".

Yes, which is why we have anticompetition laws. It's just for some reason, people can't always see competition problem when it's technology.
Imagine when they are long range and readily available. Any old despot could load on a rough GPS location and a face. Deniable foreign assassination becomes easy.
It should be ordinary. But it isn't. Which means the market stagnants as competition basically stops. Like how Microsoft basically closed IE development when IE "won" the browser market by achieving monopoly.
Marketshare? For desktops sure, but servers? The internet is made of Linux servers.
Oh and lots routers, switches, hotspots, smart things, all kind of little things.
Why the bad 80s SciFi look? It's so ugly.
It is a Ford. I just want buttons. We also have a Citroen eBerlingo and it more primitive (cheaper) but the upside of that is old school buttons.
To change the temperature of the air, seats, or clear windows, I have to look down and across, away completely from the road, and watch my fingers press "buttons". Or worse, use menus!
At some point it feels like I'll crash because I can't see through the fogged up window, or I'll crash because I was looking at touch screen instead of road.
Not crashed yet, but lot swerves.
Which one was that Passman or Nextcloud? I've run two instance of Nextcloud Password and one of Passman, for about the same time, with no issues.
Other people do seam to have issues running Nextcloud in general, but I've never had anything but PHP version stuff that is easier fixed. I love Nextcloud!
If you don't have admin, and arguably source code, you don't own it.
It was a problem before IMs on phones. Or smart phone. (Maybe not IMs because of IRC). Microsoft have been conflating monopolies with standards since forever. Not only dominating desktop operating systems, but office software on it. Using monopoly of one to get a monopoly of the other. And lets not forget what they did with browers. The EU is only body in the world dealing with the problem at all.
Phones in Asia sound even more dystopian than here in the UK. Surely you can still go LineageOS, GrapheneOS, etc?
