      The point of a federated network isn’t to lock out businesses, it is to prevent businesses from basing their business model on lock-in. It is exactly the same model as e-mail: I can get ad-funded email from google, I can pay Apple or Microsoft to host my email, or I can spin up my own server and manage it myself.
