Who said the product is inferior? Have you checked any of these?
More discoverability of alternative offerings is always better, for both the customer and supplier, unless the supplier is a monopolist.
In my experience middle sized companies that still have to prove themselves and build good will offer (much) better servivce / product than mature corporations run by beancounters who are focused on "monetising" their userbase most effectively.
because that what market shows. One market has 0 regulations and it strives. Other with all regulations and theoretically bigger population by almost 50% still struggles to be at comparable size. One pays up to $500k a mo for a dev position other pays pennies promising you some kind of pension. Classical regulated vs free market
