“The market”?

The power dynamics of companies/customers are often not as dynamic as all that.

If slack is electron and I work at a company that uses slack: I must use it.

The competition in that space is all electron, you can’t choose.

It’s like saying that “the market chose non-ECC ram”. No, Intel chose for you and you don’t get much choice except to suck it up (or pay well above the odds.)

It takes a lot to avoid using a product. I mean people still use Oracle products!
