Considering how shit scared Facebook is and Amazon seems to be on the acquisitions front, I'd say it's a strategy that's working to a degree. That being said, it has allowed so much leeway with Microsoft though, but I'd say that it's going to end very badly for Microsoft over the next decade, assuming there isn't a president let loose who can give Big Tech more leeway and a looser hand.

Facebook’s woes predate Khan. Her contribution has largely been fumbling the ball in court, e.g. forgetting to calculate market share.

Amazon is still acquiring [1], the latest in August [2].
