Also got to love the linguistic coincidence of Crabs and Cancer and how tech companies grow ever larger (monopolistic) to the detriment of their host (the greater economy/humanity)

It’s not a linguistic coincidence. The disease is named after the animal.

		The coincidence is that all animals evolve in a crab-shaped direction (as the meme goes), and all tech companies evolve in a cancer-shaped direction. That these two “inevitable endpoint things” would happen to be linguistically closely related was unlikely.

It's not a coincidence. Cancer means crab, because the earliest known physicians saw tumors and thought they looked like crabs.
