Left alone, internet infrastructure will tend to monopoly, which is bad. But it's also silly to imagine an internet where mom-and-pop ISP's lay transpacific cable or operate cloud datacenters. A situation where 20 companies own 80% of the infrastructure sounds perfectly sensible

I think “poke around but can’t turn on the lights” is more likely in a (hypothetical) world of smaller security-serious entities than among the behemoths. at the behemoths, there are people whose suborning scales very massively.

In this context "behemoths" means Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, all of whom have extremely sophisticated and custom-made internal systems. It's not like the situation of some Fortune 100 company trying to duct-tape SAP to a 1980's vintage payroll system.
