That’s probably because toxic corporate culture (we-ell, one can sometimes find contributions of heroes from Japan into FOSS projects, so maybe not so toxic, especially when you look at NetBSD) they already have, so they simply can’t afford breaking market laws, not in the slightest.

The rest think they can, which is wrong.

The economic stagnation in numbers is regrettable, though. I would prefer countries like Japan to grow (not on the map, I mean playing tall). And cultures.
