PushButton@lemmy.world 1 day agoDid you know horses were the only way to move around before cars?
Did you know the US airline industry, and AT&T phone system were a monopoly situation?
Do you remember when Dropbox, Docker were the only product that filled their niche spot?
So, no, monopoly does not always win.

Of course I remember. There is no too big to fail, too.
But that does not mean it’s not getting replaced by another one. That’s also a pattern. Or maybe the meta game changes, someone else has money and invests and holds a lot of smaller players. Still.
For docker it would be Kubernetes and that’s Google.
