The tech industry will never be a genuinely free market as long as big tech companies are allowed to be as big as they are today.
What we have today is a centrally-planned economy by MBA sociopaths, operated as a looting ground for the rich.
It will never function on normal competitive, supply-and-demand market principles.
Because, even though a healthier market is the only thing that has a hope of a return to the fast-growing tech industry of prior decades, it would also require big tech companies to accept a smaller slice of the overall pie and allow new competitors to grow.
Why do that when you can strangle the market and keep the entire corpse for yourself?
