What if instead they feed into every bubble to try and render powerful computer hardware outside the price range of anyone but millionares. While gradually encouraging a more, data center based control system so that rather than getting PC hardware ourselves… we’ll instead only be able to afford basic cheap thin clients, made to connect to a more powerful virtual machine that is capable of running games or anything that requires any power, but of course we can’t control what’s monitored on it to prevent it from spying on us or refusing to allow us to do tasks that aren’t approved by the company that owns the servers, which will be taking requests from the government.

Course that’s a hypothetical dystopia, I can’t imagine that happening.
