I don’t think founders are saying everything is perfect. If founders were satisfied with the way the world was they wouldn’t be starting cos. I especially don’t think all founders think FANG hegemony is okie dokie.

why do startup founders care about big cos being divided? It would probably help them (easier to enter existing markets, less danger of bigco destroying their business model)

While I agree that politicians are going to kill growth I do think the big tech companies have to much power and are getting too big. A few like Google and Facebook are past monopoly status.
