It’s called “division of labour”. It’s fundamental to the way a modern
economy works.
But it does not fit with "economies of scale", which is another
fundamental concept.
It does indeed fit with that. Particularly software, which can be written
once and copied and distributed over and over. If that’s not “scale”, what
is?
So if you like a specific Ford car and Ford stops production of that car
but releases the drawings what would you do:
A) hire a team to produce that car B) hire a custom car shop to produce
that car C) switch to another car from GM/Toyota/Honda/Hyundai/whoever ?
What if the car had a proprietary power and transmission system and
controls, and could only run on roads made by Ford?
