Tie it to GDP and use it to make sure no companies get too big to fail so we don't need to socialize the risk. It'll also assure that there's competition.

I think we're both somewhat sarcastic, but there is a certain beauty to using it as a way to foster competition and reduce the need for bail outs.

Is Twitter operating just as well?

The gutted moderation lead to a lot less advertisers bidding on views.

The unreliability of the service during the transition to being so far reduced dramatically reduced the number of daily users.

The company isn't public, so we don't know if it's making more/losing less money than it was. But we can be pretty certain that the operations are not the same (reduced users less money per user).

You need to dock it to do work.

But a sub $50 dongle on a desk with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard you're good to go.

In that sense it's sort of less portable than a laptop (need the work desk reserved for it), but in other ways it's more portable (smaller and lighter). The same device can dock at a TV and be a console, or dock at a desk and be an office PC. It's pretty convenient if you have multiple use spaces that are fixed. It's very inconvenient to take to the cafe and work.
