Overall a well written article.

But do I fucking hate the miss-use of the word "democratization" by the tech industry. What about "everyone can access x" has any relation with the concept of democracy?! It's just accessable or even just approachable. Guess that doesn't sound cool enough. And it's so obviously hiding the issues of governance around these tools, it's almost embarrassing.
