Yeah - the representation is far from perfect. We had some internal debates on what might be a better visualization, which shows overlap and convergence across the categories, and could also depict related ecosystems and relationships without overwhelming the viewer.

A venn diagram map was one of the alternatives we considered: https://www.google.com/search?q=venn+diagram+ecosystem+map&e...

We ultimately chose the transit map paradigm based on inspiration from Gartner's implementation of it for the digital marketing ecosystem: https://www.gartner.com/technology/research/digital-marketin...

Would love to know of other visualizations that might work better!
