How is it that companies known for garbage software such as Microsoft and SAP dominate their domains? Apparently software quality or UX is not even in the top 10 of what you need to run a successful business. I guess Thiel was onto something with his “become a monopoly as quickly as possible and then squeeze the customers out when they cannot run away”, the concept is much older than his fascist version of it.
I don’t know but maybe it explains why it’s impossible to not use either AWS or Azure at work.
The great thing is that others help them with the squeezing. Migrating a modern, manufacturing company to OSS alternatives in the backend is somewhat possible but labour intensive, in the frontend, nope, won’t happen. Way too much software, from CAD to extremely task specific stuff will only work when there MS beneath it.
Well that’s the platform effect kicking in. Once you ascend to become the environment, you are above petty little competition, you are the system.
I can’t be authoritative, but I suspect it’s like an enterprise business culture thing. The world is bigger than we think and enterprise folks see software and it’s usage differently than smaller or even younger folks.
