this is what some of the intricate systems related to technological progress and markets we're dealing with converge on, yes.
In these terms, I'd rather look at this with a different perspective: the platforms are becoming more mature.
Think of it as an organism; there is nothing natural about outsourcing the control flow of your own components. My intuition for natural design would be something along the lines of microservices (like our biological organs), organically defining the greater entity they themselves form (the company).
Apple is just one illustration of systems getting out of control. Think of international politics, or edgecases in financial markets. Our systems didn't escape us, because they were never truly under control.
Therefore, this isn't dystopian. It is dystopian from a reference frame within wich you claim to have control, but you don't, and you never had. To exercize any control over technological and economic progress is _way_ beyond our individual scope, by a margin of at least one level of abstraction.
Instead, this is a transition from one system (one with decentralized and autonomous components (subcontractors et al)) to the next (one with organic components).
Within our current game, that feels dystopian, but that won't matter, because it won't be the same game anymore. Iteratively, that is.
