They do. People won't buy good products if they have green bubbles. Guess who controls the bubble color.

Capitalism is the art of making your customers act like this.

This isn’t permanent. We see the rise and fall of plenty of brands overtime (Nike, Mitsubishi, etc).

If your branding and product is good enough you can overcome this. I mean just look at social media networks too that constantly come in and out of the picture.

		> I mean just look at social media networks too that constantly come in and out of the picture. Have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_social_pl... Can you find a US or EU-based social media platform launched in the last 15 years that isn't now a subsidiary of one of the incumbents? The closest you can come is things like Signal or Discord that are more like messaging apps than social media, and even then both of those are more than 10 years old and both of them put together have less than 10% of Facebook's user base. Network effects are wicked when incumbents are allowed to purposely impede interoperability.
