50 years from now, we won't have an internet. Everything will be accessible only from a proprietary app, on a proprietary operating system, on a proprietary device. Apps can only come from a sanctioned marketplace.

All walled garden, all the time. The internet in general will be replaced by 'Facebook pages'. No more URL bar. Many kids today don't know how to utilize the internet but they do know how to consume apps.

This is the future that you vote for every time you buy an iPhone or a Windows PC. This is the future you buy into when you buy an Android from an OEM that doesn't allow unlocking their bootloader.
