   Company A makes a product used by 60% of the world.

   This, rightly, worries people. When Company C’s product (used by 3% of the world) switches to using the core of Company A’s product folks suggest people use Company B’s product (used by 5% of the world).

   Plot twist: Company B gets ~all its money (hundreds of millions of $) from Company A.
