Well... At this point it begins to be debatable whether big tech is its own worst enemy or not. I mean, I'm sure there are competitions that wants to fill their shoes, but at this point big data seems to be alienating everyone and their brother.

Nothing new, though. They always do whatever they can get away with, by the smallest margin. And optimize for short term profit, or whatever the stakeholers/investors like. Sustainability is somewhere low on the agenda... At least that's how it seems to me if I look at big tech.
