Economy of scale applies to production think chips & screens. What economy of scale can DoorDash achieve? Persuade everyone to be paid below fair wage? Push the margin of restaurants down?
It's fun to watch the Bay losing its startup spirit and becoming a land of mega corporates. It might resemble Atlanta in 20-30 years. There are so many other places where joining a startup is the best option you have (excluding remote gigs).

The author is wrong as in presenting the cult as a flaw. Every imaginary human construct has value because we have agreed collectively to subscribe value to it.

The most interesting thing will happen when an Android phone with a screen & keyboard is Android with a Chrome desktop. Marketing shouldn't be burning the midnight oil to figure out the branding of Android/Chrome cross overs.
