In software, we’re running through the same mistake/learn process we went through with physical infrastructure over the last 300 years. I imagine like all things software, this process will be 1000x as fast, but I do worry the pains and errors will similarly be 1000x as consequential.

In this case, a state is forcing platform providers to build in side-doors for domestic players.
The analogue counterpart could be... Import tariffs to bolster certain domestic companies at the expense of the middle class. Or... Subsidized production of XYZ at the expense of a real marketplace. (Recent/contemporary examples.)
