I think we have shortage of options people actually like.
It's not that people need more options, but the ones that are available are starting to exploit their monopolistic/duopolistic positions.
People hate it, but they don't have any real way out. For something to supplant these big companies in a way where it actually served customer at volume, it would have to grow as big, without becoming as bad or getting aquired.
One of customers commented that a business he used before, that was very similar to mine, recently got purchased and merged into one of the sucky local giants.
