I just want the option to stay in my lane. Sony needs competition, they need Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nintendo, Amazon, Comcast, Netflix, and on, and on, and on. Competition is great, and it is because of competition that the later days of PS3 and early PS4 has been so great. Sony as an entire company has had to fight for survival for the last decade, and because of that, and they have developed some of the best products they ever have, and have some of the biggest leads in tech they have had since their heyday.

Thanks to the lack of UHD Blu-ray and 4K HDR content on the PS4 Pro, I am going to be re-subscribing to Netflix and Amazon Prime for a while tell Sony catches up to the competition with PS Video. So, I am very glad there is competition out there, and I have absolutly no problem using it, if Sony can not provide me with the services and features I either want or need. That is also why I begrudgingly have an Xperia X Performance, and it is also why I built PC's when I could no longer do my day to day activities on PS2's Linux and PS3 Linux and/or OS.

So, to wrap it all up. I am in no way saying I want Sony to be the lord of all things electronics. That would not be good for them, or for consumers, or for me personally, because we all need peers to keep us in check. All I am asking, is the ability to have one Sony OS, across all Sony devices, that run off the same ecosystem. So whether I turn on my TV, my phone, my reciever, my DSLR, or my console/computer, I have the same experience. I don't want to personally have to use any other OS but this one single OS, and this one single store front. I feel like that should be the goal of every company that makes devices across ranges of elctronics, and I hope if for some reason Sony ever crashes and burns, there will be another complete all in one ecosystem for me to jump on. Hopefully that will never happen, but if it does I hope I have the option of Amazon, Google, Apple, Samsung, and many more ecosystems to choose from, and I will find the one that most closely aligns with my wants and desires and go full in on that.

You want the competition to exist to only keep Sony at a higher spot, without it you know they would stagnate, which leads me to believe you just want Sony rather than the competition for what they offer (I seriously haven't seen you gush for Apple products or endorse them let alone others, it's been more of wishing Sony to take their ideas and go with them).

Again with your example of using Netflix, you want to use them as a time sink, a waiting room of sorts until Sony calls you in for your next appointment. You don't really feel compelled or drawn to anything else more so than Sony when you talk about the competition. The whole Sony ecosystem thing sounds great and all but haven't you ever thought of joining other eco-systems as well rather than waiting till Sony's becomes a massive blob mass that you're describing to me of you wanting to live within it?.

I'm not really all for one of everything, one that rules above all, You desire a one system sort of ideal where one has complete control while "allowing" the competition to exist, I'm not really a fan of that system (just like how I'm not a fan of the way Win 10 is going about things or Apple and theirs).

Yes, I only want Sony, and I am only interested in competition to help continue to drive Sony.

You are spot on with the Netflix. I am only using the other services as a stop gap for 4K content, and only because they will be available through the PS4 Pro. I have a Sony Z9D, but it runs on android, so even though I could get 4K through Sony's Ultra streaming service, I will not be using it, because I do not use android on my TV. My TV's only gets plugged into the network when I get a notice that a firmware update is available. 

No, I have zero draw to other platforms. Unless it is something I have to have, I can wait for it to become available on PlayStation, and if it never comes I just let it pass. If content creaters don't want to bring their games, apps, movies, tv, or movies to PlayStation, then they don't need my money.

I think we just have to agree to disagree. I am an absolutle beleiver in the single united OS and ecosystem for each brand. To me Apple has the best ecosystem, and I am absolutly excited about the Universal Windows Platform. I also belive in spending my money as a vote, so every dollar I spend has meaning behind it. Even in Sony's products there are thing's I don't agree with. That is why I only buy Xperia's with rewards points, because I won't spend my money on what I don't beleive in.
