A tangent to this I've been thinking about quite a bit is how big a moat drivers are to the software/hardware ecosystem.
They're a major moat/hurdle (depending on your perspective) for operating systems, new hardware platforms, graphics cards, custom chips, and more.
It's interesting to think that we're not _that_ far from being able to generate decent drivers for things on the fly with the latest code gen advancements. Relevant to this, that could reduce the monopolies here, but perhaps as interesting is we can have more new complete OSes with more resources allocated to the user experience vs hardware compatibility.
