Regarding the power structure observation, I've lately been weighing the merits of co-ops in the tech industry. Intuitively, it seems like a tech product owned by its users would lead to more product-centric decision-making. Leaving governance to shareholders who aren't necessarily directly involved in the product feels weird by comparison.

I think so too. A lot of that free energy is in the FOSS movement it seems, and there are plenty freelancers and single consultants in tech. This is a strong indicator that there is enough developers who primarily want to create, while having agency, responsibility and a direct communication channel. So why not start businesses that share these values and bring consumers and producers closer together?
