There are lots of examples of closed source, proprietary software which has been massively successful. Apple’s whole ecosystem is a good example of this. I get if you personally want everything to be open-sourced, but to say that is the solution for a business, and to then conflate open-source with “decentralized” seems like straying away from the core issue.

i simply don't care. apple is a good example of an attempted takeover of personal compute, and it will fail just like microsoft. (but in a 'successful' way like you said). i spend all my computer time resisting this no matter what it takes, in my personal and professional life. because i am in it for the tech and a firm believer. woz is sad for what happened. and he should be.
