We need all platform providers, such as payment utilities, to stop bringing their personal morals and politics to the table. If not, we need to regulate them or build government provided equivalents that don’t have the same vulnerabilities or split them up on anti trust grounds.

I'm not sure it's a given that "government provided equivalents" would be less political (or culturally slow-moving, as it were) than the situation now. I also had not considered that the banking sector is lightly regulated. Are you suggesting a re-envisioning of the banking sector as a sort of public utility?
