The neoliberal approach to the web: obsessing about innovation and competition. Framing everything in terms of companies and consumers.
Innovation is not especially important, and it could be argured that not many new software concepts have appeared since the 1970s. Lots of people have ideas, but implementation is what matters.
Competition exists, but it is not what takes the web forward. What makes things work is cooperation around standards. RFCs and rough consensus. Specification documents. So obsessing over competition is barking up the wrong tree. Making silos compete more would not help.
