>There is a good case to be made that what Dropbox sells is a commodity.
Is there? I argue Drive and OneDrive surpassed Dropbox a while ago. Box is dirt cheap if you came in early as well (I still have some 50 GB forever deal from like, 2012). And there's a dozen others if you look into it. It's not very hard to drop any one cloud storage solution (or all of them if you invest in a NAS setup).
Unless you are selling a commodity. There is a good case to be made that what Dropbox sells is a commodity.
> That's capitalism failing.
That's government failing.
1. You can't dig the moats necessary to establish a monopoly without regulation to support it.
2. If/when the government screws up, the onus is on it to fix the problem before the situation gets out of hand.
