It's ironic, they depend on perpetual growth, which means the more efficient they get at growing, the faster they outgrow their effective markets and then end up in a position where they need to further optimize optimal positions.

Sure, there's probably smaller optimizations they could make, but they don't just depend on growth but a certain % of growth.

Cornering markets is the beginning of the end for businesses in our growth obsessed system.
