And of those four horsemen, the only one I'm still really tied to in any way is Amazon. Not because I'm foolish enough to use their cloud environment, but because they are really darn convenient for shopping for weird stuff.
As for my PC, I've been running Linux for the last three decades. And now I feel old. ;)
Yeah I was considering putting Apple on my list, but I feel that Apple doesn't have as many bad behaviors or as much dominance in multiple areas as the others. And consider that Apple has been and continues to be heavily dependent on both Google and Microsoft providing their software and services on Apple's phones & computers.
I'd have said there are four, because of Apple.
