well, you can't get the same stuff done that the folks with influence can. like they're working with a better toolbox.

Which is all cool until Google rug-pulls your influence and you’re back to zero… in which case it doesn’t sound like a tool anymore.

Maybe a tool with DRM embedded would be an appropriate analogy?

One of the reasons why I don't use my personal Google accounts for stuff like Firebase.
