So you are saying, basically, if there was Unix why do we have Windows since no one asked for it.

On the positive side, running your own website or a forum is now easier than ever. I think more people should do it.

No. Windows is not free. Perhaps your interpretation of "these free services" is a bit far from mine. The topic was FB and the services it offers, which, for the majority of users (sans advertisers) isn't overwhelmingly different from other free social networks, which aren't disappearing because they're not making billions in profits.
