We need financial entities that hire people to do the things volunteers don't want to do, to maintain software, to support hardware, to write documentation, etc.

We need to source hardware and sell hardware, and people need to deal with the fact that it won't be as convenient or full-featured as what big tech can provide -- at least not right away. And it will be more expensive because it's not subsidized by preying on the users.

Lobbying big tech to pretty please play nice doesn't work.
