Tool vs Platform.
Tools can focus on specific things and you can judge them based on how good they at doing the thing they do.
Platform?
Platforms create network effect lock in and breed complacency far, far more than a tool does.
Tools, sure, can induce a kind of brand loyalty type of squabbling, but platforms are an entire way of life, they become a default part of your identity and worldview. It becomes ludicrous, rage inducing, for you to imagine or consider not using the platform.
Oh you want the omni tool?
Omni tool requires you upload your soul to it, as collateral.
