I reaffirmed the differences in scope because I lean toward the opinion that the achievements in Bell labs were substantial on technical merit alone, to such a degree than I don't think it would have necessarily been less historic if they had been private inventions. I don't think you can make a meaningful comparison avoiding this aspect.

Go, Dart and Android, to a great extent, have also been 'set free' yet they will never match some of the technologies out of Bell that we haven't even mentioned.
