It's sufficient to push undesirables to services which are more expensive, more inconvenient, unreliable, and so on. Relegate them to their internet ghetto.

However, there clearly is a small number of players in mobile platforms, cloud, and payment, and they act in a unified way. It has been sufficient.

>mobile platforms

Sure, there are in fact only a small number of players in this space.

>cloud

There are vast amounts of hosting providers. A quick google suggests over 300k, but that sounds somewhat unlikely.

>payment

There are a thousands of banks in the world, most of Europe manages just fine using bank transfers for payments without involving external payment processors.

Is this really a problem? That's just the inherent nature of being undesirable.
