It's a completely different dynamic from commercial services. It needs enough users to continue developing the software, to operate servers, and to create content on the platform. There is more than enough users on the platform to ensure that it can operate indefinitely at this point. Meanwhile, most people on Mastodon, just as the case is with Lemmy, are on it because they want an open source platform. So, they're not going to jump on another proprietary garbage platform BlueSky or W. And if a better open source platform comes along that's a win for everyone. And I'd argue that chasing growth for the sake of growth can itself be harmful. When you have a slow trickle of new users then they adapt to the existing culture of the platform. But if you have a huge influx of people all at once they can erase the existing communities in the process.

A few more manufacturers won't end the cartel, they'll just end up joining them. Remember the cartel used to also include Qimonda (EU, Made in EU and US), Elipda (itself a merger of NEC and Hitachi's DRAM divisions) and Toshiba. I don't think two more contenders will change much in the long run - in the short term in order to get marketshare they'll play friendly, but 5 years from now CXMT and YMT will just be members of the cartel too.
