As internet gets faster and more reliable the chance of it sticking longer in the central zone increases

It also allow the opposite, the fediverse is a living example of it, the more internet is faster the more we can organize better to decentralize, it's harder that someone get in contact with the decentralized internet but it's more probable that it happen now than 7 years ago

Some companies also would still continue to sell consumer hardware (like Framework, probably)

I see it as a fight, companies are currently winning sadly but we have the power to win too
