People have been unhappy with BigTech products for a decade or so. Data selling, no privacy or security, closed source, etc. But BigTech has had massive public and government inflows because of profits/data usage, which has caused it to withstand any criticism (in addition to allowing it to buy out any competitors or politico-legally destroy them).
So with all these trained coders without jobs, and no real goal of trying to get hired by the 5-10 giant companies for $300k a year plus playgrounds, will they actually give us some quality, FOSS, secure options to the tech everyone uses but hates, maybe in a year or two?
