>If the CEO’s plan and know how to maintain all the infrastructure then it's their world that they built already.

We've already essentially hit peak capitalism from a "delivering the best service to customers" perspective. Now it's just things perpetually getting enshittified to within as much as the customer will accept. There's no end to this process, they'll just keep lowering standards and expectations.

This is why a lot of companies do go private in fact, so they can focus more on their consumer base.
