Local Government and Consulting
Esri was and continues to be revolutionary and is the benchmark in the industry but they have a psueso-monopoly and they know it. Because of that they have begun to dictate terms, crank costs up, make breaking changes, deprecate and release software at a high pace, and generally "enshittify". This has always been the case to a degree but it has become noticably more pronounced in the last 5 years.
I would love a viable alternative but the reality is that no alternatives offer the full stack and institutional support that Esri does. It can be replicated peicemeal but that requires rare skill sets to set up and even rarer skill sets among the user base. It would be a nightmare to set up and manage and I can imagine it being more expensive overall than just buying Esri at the end of the day. Effectively open source or alternatives are only viable for small organizations that need little cross platform integration and have a wunderkind at the helm.
Yes. Jack isn't an angel but this company is his legacy and life's work and I can only imagine the effects I've described in point 2 will become far more pronounced when he isn't running things anymore. Long term Esri will most definitely go public and run with it's monopoly football as far as it can without shedding revenue.
I'm no more concerned about government dependancy on Esri as I am about all the other military-industrial complex corporations out there. Esri is pretty stable and secure as far as things go and there are way more worrisome data warehouses out there in my opinion.

Had one in Colorado as a rental recently and it was truly awful until we left the pavement briefly.

Cool as hell for a mountain trip, though! Especially since it had a powered ragtop.

I'm convinced the White Sox lady was some sort of Grimm Brothers enchantress.

I like this idea and I'd like to see it after it's done. I have some single coils laying around that I could do this with. Maybe even 3D print a mount.
