Elon is always obsessed with WeChat's model. (For those who don't know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the 'Everything app'.)
Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks...
Leave a risk that you know in the comment.
I'd argue that Windows from Win98 - XP was trying to be an "everything app"
This was highly unethical and didn't work
Can you please elaborate?
Honestly I was probably exaggerating a little.
But I was going to talk about stuff like the heavy integration of Internet Explorer into those versions of Windows and the bundling of apps like Outlook Express and Windows Messenger. They were accused by the US government of illegally maintaining a monopoly on PC software through this, and some software that is bundled in most countries still isn't in the European Union or South Korea.
Still, I do think MS wanted to cause vendor lock in which is a similar issue to why an "everything app" gaining popularity would be an issue.
