That second paragraph, "hungrier and greedier", is the problem with the entire capitalistic system. If only people stayed small, they'd be happier, have more time, and there would be a wider more diverse set of products available for the public.

It's much easier to handle the culture and internal communications, you don't need investment, and you can focus on making a fantastic product for your much more cohesive set of customers.
