So, presumably organisations like the IRS and Wikipedia are "barely anyone" and all of the big technology companies are "a couple of megacorps" but can you explain why you believe the _users_ don't benefit?

[About a third of all "popular" (ie top 10 million) web sites are HTTP/2 today]

Or did you just mean "I don't care about the facts, I'm angry and the world changes which I don't really understand, so I just make things up and call that truth because it's easier" ?

Don't forget that a huge chunk of them are hosted on megacorp cloud platforms.

Everything became so "simple" and "streamlined" that companies are forced to outsource all their hardware and platform management and then hire a small army of AWS certified devops.

Nothing is being forced. You can still set up a server in your basement, or rent/build a data center and run nginx to get all of the benefits of H2, TLS1.3, etc. You can even get "megacorp-quality platform management" with things like Outposts, GKE on-prem, Azure stack, etc.

Not directly, but it is by complexity of dominant technology stacks, protocols and standards that are influenced by ubercorps.
