Basically every point you're trying to make about how MS was in the 90's is truer today except for market share.
Why is market share such a critical point when we're suffering from WORSE problems?
Market share matters because Windows was a functional monopoly back then.
Market share matters a whole lot less than people pretend... Yes, "monopoly" requires it, but in reality, in the real world where real things happen, you do NOT NEED a literal monopoly to start suffering from the same problems!
Jeeze, it's like you people want to no-true-scotsman yourselves in to a future where corporations literally own you and your time...
