Indeed. How does that saying go? Don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity?

On the other hand Microsoft and taceboook did collude to keep salaries low. So who knows.

Anyone in tech should read up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

It was more tech companies in collusion than many people realize. 1) Apple and Google, (2) Apple and Adobe, (3) Apple and Pixar, (4) Google and Intel, (5) Google and Intuit, and (6) Lucasfilm and Pixar.

It was settled out of court. One of the plaintiffs was very vocal that the settlement was a travesty of justice. The companies paid less in the settlement than the amount they saved by colluding to keep wages down.
