Large firms don't exist because of power, but because with their power they can use resources to do things other firms can't?
Sounds like they exist because of power. And it sounds like unnecessary complexity is something they would evolve to create, not diminish, because it's a great moat for them to hide behind.
Is that what we're hoping to accomplish? Create a few hypercorporations with tens of thousands of people working bullshit jobs because they've shaped industries in such a way so as to force that bullshit to be the cost of entry?
No thanks.
