I fully think in this case they deserve the win. They worked hard, took risks, invented something that solved real problems, and have been executing flawlessly on it. I don't feel like it's an unfair win, I'm just wondering if I'm playing the right game.

Fair enough, some do deserve to win.

But 100s millions?

Lol exactly! Thank you for this. For now I'm at the slot machines all day getting soaked on cheap whisky and I just saw a high roller come out. Maybe the best move is not to play.

100s of millions is the result of the power law. "Winners take most" is how things in tech tend to work.
