That is pretty much the gist of the article.  Because a few large players can do this, they can push smaller ones out.  Introduce some non-standard "Features" and e-mail now becomes proprietary and incompatible.  Could Big Tech do that?  Yes.  They are evil and most definitely could.  There is little to stop them anymore.
