Centralization robs people of the ability to be an owner.

When you're an owner, you're naturally aligned with the long-term interest of the thing you own.

When things are centralized, there are a smaller number of more concentrated owners.

In the late-stage dynamics, almost everyone is a renter of almost everything.

A renter mindset encourages thinking short-term and transactionally.

This is one of the reasons that problems that require long-term collective action are so hard.
