It’s not just monopoly that leads to fragility. But efficiency even more broadly, by eliminating redundancy, also leads to fragile systems.

We finally got the Y2K we've all been waiting for! Why couldn't we pull it off 24 years ago? Well, the only way for the poor CrowdStrike CTO to bluescreen all his customers would be to stamp and mail 2 million CD-ROMs. On the base we have considerably faster network links that stay online all the time instead of dialing in, and then kind of superstructurally we've accepted things like silent over-the-air updates, corporate spyware and MDM, and cloud dependency, which have catalyzed software monopoly formation not just in the business sense, but right down to the ecology and diversity of the code actively running within our machines.
