I think you've made some good points.

However:

> All the non-USA-allies developed their own markets

I have friends and family in India, and I'm not aware of homegrown alternatives to any of the following:

* gmail

* amazon

* google search

* whatsapp

* linkedin

* spotify

* facebook

* yt shorts

On that last one, when India banned TikTok overnight, it was a golden opportunity for a different homegrown alternative to step in, but it looks like YT/IG captured most of that market.

Happy to be corrected, though. If you have concrete examples, that'd be good to know!
