Those guys should not work in identity and access areas. Period. Only one reason says everything: they provide no support. Customers will be left in the cold, minus all their belongings.

But they may separate into several companies to avoid conflict of interests, if they prefer, this time with proper support and everything. Or they can be forced to do so, if they are too stubborn and will continue running their dystopian playbooks.

So, the situation is not strictly technical, it's much deeper than that. A blog post won't make a dent.
