We need more than 2 popular and accessible types of desktop OS

We need more than 2 popular and accessible types of browsers

We need more than 2 popular high-capacity cloud services

We need more than a 2 popular and secure end-to-end encrypted email services

We need more than a few popular and secure end-to-end encrypted messaging apps

We need SO much more diversity in tech!

There seems to be a tendency to just pit projects against each other (or buy each other) until we only get 2 options in the end. This is horrible for consumer choices, for security, for privacy, for resilience, and just leads to more enshitification everywhere once people are locked in systems without viable alternatives.

We need much more options, everywhere.
Celebrate and encourage diversity.
In tech, and everywhere else.
