Google has been on this list for the past decade, as demonstrated by the Google+ fiasco of 2011. Same for Microsoft in the post-Gates era and Apple in the post-Jobs era. As for Facebook, the vapid metaverse hype shows that it has well and truly jumped the shark.

I would argue that Apple is doing fairly well in post-Jobs era, probably much better than anyone expected. Microsoft seems to be making some steps forward here and there, improving its reputation among developers and end users (although they still do their fair share of missteps).

Microsoft will always be a pathetic company

Apple has done some pretty ugly stuff related to the App store monopoly and fighting the right to repair but having monopolistic tendencies has always been baked in to a company that wants you to run both its hardware and software, and that is not the same thing as being MBAized (ie greed/evil and technical prowess can be orthagonal). Their recent processor success proves they are not another IBM.
