I'm shocked (/s) that Silicon Valley's brand of libertarianism led to five companies dominating everything and then pulling up the ladder behind them by abandoning open standards in favor or proprietary silos.
"Pulling up the ladder" - thanks, that was the metaphor that didn't come to me as non-native speaker when I was last criticising the modern web and the process leading to its overcomplication by which browsers vendors shut the door behind them. With folks standing by and cheering, and self-proclaimed puppet "standardization bodies" in for job security.
Expect to be down voted for speaking such heresy on HN.
