Interesting, it was a variation of embrace, extend, extinguish, without the extend part.

In a way, I think it happened to the entire internet. Look at browsers today, web development (that one might be controversial, but I think big techs somewhat forced bloated frameworks to be the standard way to create websites), video streaming, etc.

Maybe I’m overthinking stuff, let’s see how it goes.
