The reason I see the connection is that big dogs like Apple or Microsoft will be able to get RAM from those suppliers (or build it themselves like Samsung), and will be able to sell you walled-garden "computer appliances" which only run approved software. But you won't be able to afford to build your own computer from parts yourself, and won't be able to install whatever you want on it as a result.
Think about the power Microsoft has when they have every business document on earth and an AI that can summarize vast quantities of them on an ongoing basis.
They’re taking control of free markets, of political movements.
I am sure getting the gist of all the knowledge in the world will be very useful. They'll have the general idea of the kind of things they may or may not need or not need to do to accomplish anything!
