Some were replaced by cheaper, easy to mass produce but somewhat inferior products.
Others by some insane reasons by manufacturers to increase their profits or differentiate amongst themselves, pushing for thinner, lighter devices. i would gladly use bulkier devices for better specs and reparability.

"amazon lagging behind flipkart" comment was in regards to market penetration in smaller towns. Given that all the gier 1 cities are well covered by the tech giants the next market to tap into would be the small cities and towns. the arsicle indicates thats where amazon it falling behind flipkart in making progress.
far as I remember, dodo evolved from a south asian bird that adapted to an island with abundant food and no competition. if they were alive today preserving them would mean establishing an uninhabited island that wouldnt get any predators where they can thrive.
but there already are many species like that that could use our help.
some already exists but adoption rate is slow for few reasons like not needed for most people or the type of content they host, the crawbacks compared to off-the-shelf hostings when you don't need a censor proof solution, no standard or stable solution ( multiple new products keeps proping up).
The technology alone will never be enough or widely available if the judicial or legislature keep attacking and restricting their use.
As any person, if we start caring about the political or moral affiliations of the makers of every single product we use there doesn't seem to be an efficient, reliable source of such information. I can barely avoid a single company let alone all those I dont agree with.
Beyond a limited number of companies who go against popular opinion (possibly bcos their target customers are too), most are going to publicly support all the same socially acceptable stands. This doesn't mean there are some vile people employed in those positive companies or some decent, well meaning pepole working in the bad companies just for a paycheck. it's hard to judge with a simple look.
As a consumer you are free to support or boycott a product on any criteria that you like but question is how much of a realworld difference their placit support for your cause makes.
Many customisations are not possible in Windows let alone requesting any specific feature from the devs.
In cases where I had ti seek forumn help in windows three common scenario were:
1. Well known bug with a simple fix that user has to make.
2. Well known bug that has a weird work around or hacky reg edit.
3. No idea what the cause is and you just reinstall and hope it doesnt reoccur.
And the ltt video was an obsolute joke because they made little to no effort to learn anything about Linux and operated it like they do windows. of course it was such a bad experience. that's what most reaction I saw was too. if you are great at driving automatic but decided to just drive a stick without putting any effort to learn its specific details or the different, that will end horribly. Cant blame the stick car is terrible.
I occasionally use its free tier and I thought the freetier is supported by the paid users. They get higher bandwidths, lots of related features and support while I get to use a basic VPN that is generally privacy oriented.
i am only glad that you arent selling cars without safety tests.
i would also be glad that not anyone would make a air traffic control or a train signaling system.
while i like foss programs and have low barriers of entry in any field, there needs to be a minimal standard that everyone shoud adhere to where a system failure could affect someones life beyond minor inconvenience.
