</span>That in itself isn't. But your next point is that email lets people<br>
choose what they use, whereas centralized systems force everyone to<br>
use the exact same client (or whatever clients the one central<br>
authority provides - eg Slack offers web and desktop, and I think<br>
mobile). In fact, the entire *point* of the centralized systems is to<br>
force everyone to use a restricted set of clients, instead of having<br>
the freedom to choose. Would the world be a better place if everyone<br>
were forced to write all code in Python?<br>
