      You are describing enshitification. You’re missing the point.

      Company enters market, disrupts it with money from investors, with featuresets that aren’t profitable just to drive out the competition, kills the competition who have to pay for their features and pricings with an actual business, then raise prices and reduce features now you’re the only one left.
