The problematic parts of the court is in my opinion not the current flavour of social self aggregandization, but the priesthood of the holy cow that giveth the revenue stream. If at microsoft, all must be windows. If at google all compareth horribly to search. If at apple, does it look good and can be sold at store.

The company internal wild-west eco system continus to produce more often then not, but the priesthood feels attacked by the idea of other power centers, aka revenue streams emerging inside the company.
