@smallcircles I think there is a space in the fediverse for commercial actors and I do not see why you are so negative. Can you elaborate on your points 2 and 3 to help me understand?
As long as there is an abundance of foss clients and, more importantly, foss instances, why would commercial clients be a threat?
And assuming one commercial client became dominant (which I find unlikely) how badly could it hurt it's users, or the rest of the network, before people start flocking away from it?
