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.
To my recollection, I’ve never heard a single founder or would-be founder complain about a big tech company’s dominance.

I think this view is more common than you think. The most famous example is Jeremy Stoppelman and Google. I went to Hacker News and searched "Google" and third example is someone building an open source browser who was complaining about Chrome shutting them out of DRM.

If you go the comments of any Hacker News article, there's a lot of people complaining that they were operating their business ethically and shut out of Amazon, Google, or other platform with no recourse. Many of these just want to make their case but can't.

Fair there are lots of founders! I spend lots of time with those from YC and Stanford. Just sharing my viewpoint, not detracting from yours
