Bah. Diversity is good for the ecosystem.

Do you complain about the plants and animals with only minor differences as being redundant, a waste of evolutionary effort?

Just a generation ago there was understanding that we had let too much power accumulate into too few large, multi-national corporations.

Then we got a chance to start over with the internet and new digital companies. How quickly we repeated the same mistakes. Now we have trillion dollar tech companies and wonder if they've gotten too big, too centralized.

What cognitive dissonance to bemoan the consolidated power of just a few FAANG companies while also complaining that the diversity in open source software isn't the kind of diversity you'd like to see.
