I think the design behind Kubernetes served one purpose, normalize people's workloads. Not to reach Uber or Netflix scale. That is important in the context of the history, and I care because I don't think it is a very good product, because of this very reason.

It was definitely rushed to market, they say it in the video, and all the major players in the ecosystem, IBM, Redhat, Google, and VmWare, all wanted a piece of that pie, because all of them were barely treading water.

I don't think that is how market share is measured.

I am not sure how you decrease the power of the big 3 like this. Kubernetes does not solve that issue. I agree it is an admirable ambition, but I think you would have better luck trying to regulate them like utilities.
