Apple & Microsoft & Android have each built operating systems, but they're playing different games: premium, productivity, mass adoption; "bicycle for the mind", enterprise-oriented, flexibility.

NASA & SpaceX each build rockets, but they're playing different games: government services, interplanetary commerce.

OpenAI & Meta & Anthropic have each built generative tooling, but they're playing different games: integration, attention, responsibility.

Obsession over comparing What It Is tends to distract from Why It Is, Where It's Going, and Where It's Taking Us.
