    Do you feel bad for the data centers that virtual clouds replaced (edit to clarify: instead of lots of little things and people hosting out of their closets, things solidified into major data centers to host VPCs)? Do you feel bad for the sysadmins virtual private servers replaced? Do you feel bad for the webmasters WordPress replaced?

    Note it’s totally possible to feel bad for all these folks and the template designers. My point is not whataboutism, it’s just that things that sell well as internet services have been changing constantly since the late nineties.
