Not companies, the protocols are decentralized and at some point it was mostly non-companies. Anyone can hook up a computer and start serving requests which was/is a radical concept, we've lost a lot, unfortunately

No we've not lost that at all. Nobody prevents you from doing that.

We have put more and more services on fewer and fewer vendors. But that's the consolidation and cost point.

There’s more than one way to get a server on the Internet. You can pay a local data center to put your machine in one of their racks.
