    As soon as they start charging for it, folks will stop using it as much.

    It's just the same tech cycle as ever: give it out for free or very cheaply until you think people are dependent on it, then jack up the price.

    Think Uber, Instacart, Netflix, things of this nature.

    What would be nice is if entire nations weren't staking their futures on it.

        Much fewer than at their peak and continuing to decline in most cases.
