I tend to agree, and have been thinking this for some time. I thought for a while it was my own 'sour grapes' thinking, and maybe it's just everyone's 'sour grapes' thinking too. But... from a content standpoint, it's easier to write about a few big players, because everyone has an opinion on them, and it brings in eyeballs/adrevenue to a publisher. That's a bit reason it's done, I think (cynical, I know). To a lesser extent, some of the things these players do do affect many of us, but I don't think they really affect us as much as we're led to believe they'll affect us (usually), and whether they do or not, reading about the latest Apple vs MS patent fight isn't going to impact my life in any meaningful way.
