I feel like a lot of “technology” companies are like this: consolidation of production and locking people out rather than actually making things more efficient.

Generally, those are the same. Manual labour does not scale well and is prone to error.

But there's a difference between selling a product that reduces manual labor, vs. selling a service that does the same - the latter being what usually locks people out.
