Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      While industry leaders continue to innovate and create value other groups can work to commoditize the best ideas and attempt to profit.

      Innovation is not limited to big players. Example: Linus drove innovation by creating git *and* making it open; many are profiting.

      When new ideas originate from a vendor I tend to attribute them to innovation; not lock-in. Very few are forced to use a specific solution.

      I think you're making excuses for them. To most of us the difference between lock-in and innovation is readily apparent.

      Lock-in is not a matter of forced-to-use-X, but rather making it artificially difficult to switch away from X...

      ...or to use X in a manner that's focused on your own (the user's) interests and not the producer's monetization model.

      I feel this way about many well-scoped projects or ones based on strong standardization. For example, I feel locked-into DNS.

      When this happens, it's to add a cost that prevents new privatized lock-in from happening.

      The internet would be a much more awful place if DNS got replaced each year by the latest Facebook or Google naming system.

      I agree with everything you're saying. I just don't think lock-in best describes things that are not standardized or commodity.

      I'm just saying "lock-in" is useful language and not the opposite of standardized.

          An IoT lightbulb with its own vendor-specific protocol is not standardized but not necessarily lock-in.

          But if the IoT lightbulb can only be controlled through a vendor-provided cloud infrastructure, then it's lock-in.

          Lock-in is an active choice to put your control (usually aimed at monetization or monopolization) above user interests.

          Most people don't think that deeply or have that intent. It can be as simple as only wanting to support one way of doing things.

          Adding flexibility has a cost. I sometimes chose products based on flexibility, but in most cases I don't. iPhone for example.
