The UK tax system runs on DEC. How much power does DEC have? You need water - does the water company control you? Microsoft has lots of customers. It doesn't set any agenda. It doesn't set standards. People don't worry what it'll do. Startups don't ask 'would Microsoft block us?'

DEC is not the world’s largest company, but Microsoft is. It’s not due to great strength of products, it’s their monopolistic lock. It’s not just a dwindling legacy like DEC.
