Its not like you have to use their instances. What harm will it cause, if anything it’d benefit us.
It won’t benefit us. Big Tech’s goal ultimately is Embrace Extend Extinguish with…everything. That last E, “extinguish”, can be substituted with “own” or “dominate”.
Look at React. They created it. Now, look at VS Code. Made by Microsoft. VSC has telemetry built in.
These are now ubiquitous tools. They’re so ubiquitous that knowing React is practically necessary if you want to do frontend. You may as well use VS Code while you’re at it.
The implications of allowing them to have any influence or participation are huge.
Now tons of businesses rely on Meta’s framework just to survive. They also dictate the terms - how it can be used, whether or not royalties are necessary, license compatibility, who you are allowed to compete against - the sky is the limit.
More is not better. Also if you think Facebook, Meta or the zuck are good people, you haven’t been paying attention.

It all boils down to status quo.
