I'd be lying to y'all if I said that a major part of me doesn't want to see the downfall of these "too big to fail" companies (Google/Apple/Microsoft).

I get it, the downfall of IBM and Kodak and Blackberry one point seemed like the end of days.
But those didn't just fall into the vacuum - new companies appeared and chewed up the established overlords.

Someday something new, that looks like a joke at first, will topple the big guys.
I don't know what it is. But I know it will be something very weird.
Like, imagine, for the sake of the argument, that Open.AI managed to replace Amazon because their chatbot can offer a better and cheaper shopping experience. Unthinkable, of course, but that is exactly the point.

I agree, less competition is bad...we see it now in mobile with only android and ios

What's to say you're not already seeing it?

@SidTheITGuy Still a cantankerous old grumpy git as ever, don't you worry ;)
