> History tells us that the institutions with laws, guns, judges and a monopoly on violence rules over "smart people" who just make phones.

The real problem is that some of these mega-corporations can drag things out so long legally that the end result barely matters. :(

Governments have a shot at this fortunately. But it seems that some US people have such an ingrained anti-government that they reject anything, even if it helps.

This is forum with a lot of top1% earners who can afford to pay Apple premium. And entrepreneurs who only dream to build the next apple and be able to abuse market power the same way.

Government regulation are kind a opposite side of that coin.
