Did they, though? Intel, IBM, DEC and Honeywell were big names, but they're not FAANG.

Other than Nintendo, how many games companies today were around back then?

... so your argument is "no actually the second generation did that"?

End result for 100-16 % of Americans is the same

  • Other than Apple, FAANG is fourth or fifth generation at least.

    And my argument is straight assuming you're OK to say the financial PoV is a good PoV, I'm not arguing for or against that claim.

    Yes, but FAANG got all the money without the hate AI has. Well, perhaps, I'm not sure when the public decided F had horns rather than a halo, so I can't be sure how much money they had at the time, but other than that the hate came long after the money.
