"Looking at consumer products, companies will have to decide to prioritize privacy and security or fall into dystopian traps; this is an area where I believe Apple has done a remarkable job. Apple states, “We design Apple products to protect your privacy and give you control over your information. It’s not always easy. But that’s the kind of innovation we believe in.” Google and Meta and the rest will have to decide their fate."

big tech will still be around, but many are pretty much at the top of their monetization curve. open protocols (similar to HTTP/IP) are in development/likely going to be the future. i hope they address a lot of the issues you mentioned on here - depends on where humanity will choose to build/users choose to congregate, but i'm optimistic too!
