>The fact they're able to do so much with so few employees tells me they're more efficient.
Im not downplaying their accomplishments but it's just not the same scale. Imagine what they could be if the EU didnt have the government boot on their neck.
They easily could be massive.
>ARM? Their devices are running everywhere.
But not in the way intel, samsung, or nvidia make money. ARM makes what 2-3 billion a year gross? Nvidia does that per week. ARM cant claim success for what other entities have done with their chips.
>Spotify? They have 1/3 of the world's streaming music business.
They have 1/3rd of paying subscribers of streaming music of a pure music streaming service.
When you account for apple music, youtube music and free streaming(Im currently listening to Futuristic Work Music | Boost Focus, Productivity & Deep Workflow All Day)
and dont forgot pirated and physical media. Radio probably still exists?
etc. Spotify is a tiny tiny blip of the music industry.
>Oh, and let's not forget that Linux came from Europe.
GNU is from silicon valley. Linux and Linus might have originally been from finland but he moved to silicon valley in 1997. Linux is USA. GNU/Linux is tremendously american.
