This reminds me of something I've been thinking a lot about. which i think is big techs greatest failure: interoperability

I first thought of this when seeing someone take a picture of their computer screen. There is just so much friction in moving data.

I should be able to take anything off any screen and move the source material to any other screen on any device or cloud with a simple 1-click process. Including the devices of a friend or family member.

Microsoft forced OEM's to replace the right ctrl key with a copilot key. really it should have been an 'interoperability' key.

It's not a failure, it's big techs greatest feature. Try to imagine the likes of Windows, Office, Apple, AWS, Social Media etc. without lock-in, network effect or all the other names for missing interoperability.
