What happened to the days where everyone controlled their own domains/IP addresses/servers?

Why would anyone want to risk being deplatformed? I trust ICANN more than I trust Apple and ${CLOUD_PROVIDER}

Yeah in those days 99.9% of the world didn't use it.

How can this thought persist in a world where everyone is supposedly more tech savvy than ever?

Seems like those that wish to use Apple (consumers, Epic) should either deal with the consequences, beg the government for help, or build their own open standard.

For me I lean towards building the open standard and teaching people how to use it. The App Store is for the lazy.
