Why are countries coming up now? I thought you were arguing against the sharecropping analogy, and the people that do sharecropping are all low-power individuals.
"Someone rich could make a new ecosystem" is unrelated to whether the current ecosystem resembles sharecropping.
So, is your arguent that instead of inconveniencing those businesses, countries should just create competiting public services?
They can always do that too, but I'm also full for them inconveniencing those businesses.
Businesses should be whiped and forced to play responsibly in society. They can innovate on tech and features, they don't have to innovate on milking people and erroding working rights.
