If you are not smart enough and need a big tech company to lead your life you can do it by yourself without thinking it's okay to subject the whole world to this duopoly.

You can very easily turn that argument around and say: if you are smart enough, use an operating system that doesn't babysit you and switch to Linux which is a very valid option.

No, it is not a valid option when you want to restrict companies from having such a power. The world does not spin around you or me.

I did switch to a GNU/Linux phone as a daily driver, but pressure from the duopoly still troubles me a lot.
