Things literally do go from fine to anti-competitive or illegal over time, because context matters and both laws and circumstances change.

In one case, the US fought a whole war over something that was previously legal for decades!

This is true, but do people really think it’s the end of history for personal computing and that iOS and Android are the endgame such that they should be regulated like energy utilities?

The lack of entrepreneurial imagination is astounding. VR and AR are coming, Facebook and Valve are poised to be the next kings of tech. The current era of Apple and Google has an obvious time limit.

Given how many companies Apple has acquired over the last few years pretty sure they are much further ahead in the AR/VR space than Facebook/Valve.

They just have a tendency to keep things under wraps until the big reveal.
