Well joking aside, I know much of what makes the internet work is technology developed decades ago, so hence there are issues, I guess security was not something that was really needed back then.

Would we have or want it any other way? If big tech had it their way they would control everything from the RFC stanards documents that determine how things work to the actual implementation, this would mean that rather than everyone being able to contribute it would all be in the hands of a few billion dollar companies.

We are already seeing some of this now,

As users and admins on fedi, we have control over what happens, this is precious adn needs to be defended, hence the debates as to if we should allow Threads or not.
