Since a good number of us get paid for delivering bits, isn't this a
good thing?

at layer eight, having a single very large customer can be a source of
unhappy surprises.

I have first hand experience, having been laid off from my last IT 
director job because such a monopsony customer yanked 3/5 of its business
from my then employer.

Or ask *hundreds* of 35 year old companies that used to produce, nearly
exclusively, lots of specialized, flight certified parts for the Space
Shuttle Program.
