It's too bad Google isn't being broken up now.

I'm not sure that vision is all upside. Microsoft de facto provided some industry standardization.

I am always reminded of when fire departments couldn't help other cities because their equipment wasn't compatible. This was so disastrous that we introduced standardization for sizes of hoses, connectors, etc.

I am not aware of anyone protesting such standardization the way we routinely think it's a terrible thing in other industries while taking it for granted that all our stuff is supposed naturally play well with all our other stuff.

More browsers with bugs to work around. What a nightmare.
