I don't trust a corpo to choose what is "most critical".

That's what's messed up about it.

That is a fine stance to hold but some facts are still true regardless of your view on large businesses.

For example, it will benefit more people to secure Microsoft or Amazon services than it would be to secure a smaller, less corporate player in those same service ecosystems.

You could go on to argue that the second order effects of improving one service provider over another chooses who gets to play, but that is true whether you choose small or large businesses, so this argument devolves into “who are we to choose on behalf of others”.

Which then comes back to “we should secure what the market has chosen in order to provide the greatest benefit.”

The longer term economic outcome of this is consolidation: large players get stronger, weak players get weaker.

That's not a good outcome for the economy.

Let's let the California HSR committee do it instead!
I'm too much of an anarchist for that.

I believe what I said:

10 Axios's within 5 days.
Yeah, I'm unsure why the OP thinks that massive chaos would somehow be "better for the public."
That was a supply chain issue.

The interesting thing about Mythos is its ability to find security vulns in software that has an uncompromised supply chain.

This is already happening. But not everyone has access to the tools to protect against it.
