What exactly is your complaint against FAANG? You are free to buy a Linux or windows laptop, not create a Facebook account, subscribe to Hulu, not Shop amazon, use fast mail etc...
Hard for me to get too worked up about tech giants seeing as using them is optional and alternatives abound. I don’t see how my life is made worse if someone else buys a MacBook.
None of the things that do irk me about tech companies (security breaches, unethical advertising, spread of fake news, and so on) would be addressed in any way by a breakup.
Well sure, I agree that there are only 2 smartphone OSes on the market. But how is that an argument for breaking up the tech companies? Breaking up the tech companies is not going to produce more smartphone OSes.
On the other hand, there are now a couple companies like Purism and Pine that are working on pure Linux smartphones. We'll see if any of them are successful in the long run, but I think that's a pretty good example of the market doing its thing and creating competition.
