Microsoft and Apple, the duopoly who control nearly 100% of the consumer desktop OS market, were both founded in the 1970s.

In comparison, Google was a relative "newcomer" in the late 1990s. Google and Apple control nearly 100% of the consumer mobile OS market.

There are no challengers. 3 companies own all of personal computing.

Oh yeah, these companies also collectively control the web browsers: Chrome, Safari, Edge. And they control the search engines: Google, Bing. (Google leveraged its search monopoly to achieve a mobile monopoly, which is how it crowded into Microsoft and Apple's world.)

And I Dislike all Three of them ( I used to be on Apple's side with Steve Jobs as CEO though ).

Now they are all the same.

It's not going to get better as Apple transforms into an advertising company, rather than a technology company.
