I think this is an unconstructive question. We better ask ourselfs what can we replace them with that is fundamentally better?

Yes besides I would drop all of them. I've been mulling over lately how tired I am of dealing with their behavior: Spying on me, Removing features I need, Dropping support for hardware I use, Anti-user defaults, User lock-in schemes, Intentionally converting users into addicts, turning products into services, restricting my use of my software and media.

Makes me want to give up using computers.

I think, people doesn't necessarily hate the product, they hate the business model.

However, I don't have any realistic replacement business model to offer.

I think some of the fundamental shortcomings could and will be replaced/fixed by decentralization/distribution which is actively being worked on with projects like ipfs and ethereum.
