I suspect they will dominate all the largest technology markets for the long run, unless the government intervenes. I might be wrong.
They may not dominate the future of "technology markets", though, if the sum of the long tail dominates. Right now FAANG is 42% of the NASDAQ Composite 100.
I don't think they do, at least in the long term. In the short and medium term its arguable either way. We're still at the very beginning of the era of truly distributed computing and what it tends to do when it spreads is replace centralized entities with protocols.
If this sounds like a very played out line of thinking, that's because we're now in the trough of disappointment of the hype cycle. You can't expect any fundamental new tech to live up to its hype only a few decades after invention. Also not all the pieces needed have been invented yet.
I remember a time when altavista was a the only serious search engine around. I recently switched from google to ddg on mobile because I got sick of clicking away the privacy waiver in private mode.
If ddg would deliver better search results then google search would be in serious trouble (although it may take twice as long as yahoo to die). Of course it’s unlikely because if the talent google attracts, but that was true for IBM in the 80s as well.
