Of course this didn’t pan out. 2-3 huge tech companies rushed onto the market with somewhat crappy products just to own the patents so smaller companies couldn’t innovate. When they weren’t immediately profitable they started cutting back and shutting down.

The way advanced capitalism can't even grow a product before trying to strangle it for every last penny is all that saves us from special Black Mirror levels of hell.
