This reads like the “I could build Dropbox in a weekend”.

Haha yes, but my argument is not about individuals, but about "tech" companies that externalize everything and do not develop tech internally.

It's just files, how hard could it be?

No that hard, took me 4 weekends to build a private search engine with Common Crawl, Wikipedia and HN as a link authority source. Takes about a week to crunch the data on an old Lenovo workstation with 256gb ram and some storage.
