There are no alternatives being presented.

There is no demand for alternatives. Apps are very well presented and
easy to use, they're totally hassle free. All you're asked to give up
is your freedom, ownership and control.

Yep.

And they aren't really all that powerful anyway. It seems innovation today is merely making a nice looking UI to order fast food.

It's all about capturing the lowest common denominator, Dennisk. Systems are designed to be accessible to 99% of the population with zero learning curve.

I think it is more than that. There isn't as much innovation I think. Innovation now is simply finding a new market niche.
