I do when I track when my money goes. A lot of the products I actually spend money on are either made by 10+-year old companies from the West, or newer companies from China.

This is quite disturbing actually, the "new wave of companies" isn't here anymore.

Basically trained by Microsoft's investment [1]. This fits with the parent commentator's thesis, which I also agree with.

There hasn't been a significant effort to enforce antitrust in the software domain since United States v. Microsoft Corp in 2001, and we are seeing the consequences.

There's been a heluva lot of innovation in software since 2001.

No one is arguing that there hasn't been any innovation, just that it's by the same 5 or so companies; and that there could probably be more if there was more competition.

That's just speculation. Startups are everywhere and are getting funded.
