Even if it could mean Tailscale enshittifies eventually, this is probably a good thing for the ecosystem. As one example, the bigger they get, the more likely operating systems will build better APIs to support what they do (for example maybe Apple will provide a way to do mDNS over Tailscale), and those APIs can be used by all.

There are plenty of open source alternatives cropping up[0]. I'm curious to see what Tailscale can do with a lot of resources.

Apple had a Tailscale-style feature called "Back to my Mac" that was part of MobileMe. They killed it off with the rest of MobileMe, presumably because they just wanted you to store everything in iCloud.
