Couldn't do that as easily in dialup times.

Were wary of doing that when Sun was alive, Apple was aiming for desktops and Linux was something new and interesting, which was almost till 2010.

Fast forward to now - enormous connectivity, very little competitiveness and goodwill, and nation-states prefer the industry big and oligopolized for easy control and bribes.
