By that logic, we'd need to make knives illegal, because people get stabbed to death every day somewhere.

It's the usual "bait-and-switch" strategy, isn't it.

Make something good. Dominate the market. Increase economic pressure.

Only 1 way for to counter: Leave and let others know what you're using instead, and why.

New comment by benevol in "'We Are Being Levelled Down’: Why the UK’s Wealth Gap Is Widening"

It's an unhealthy situation to be fully dependent on 1 single provider. It creates monopolies (instead of diversity and choice) which means less freedom, and/or more corruption and unhealthy conditions for all involved.

It looks like Ruby on Jets makes you 100% dependent on 1 company: AWS/Amazon; not an evolution I'd welcome.
