Could you just be an API to serve intelligence instead of moving into the app layer and putting your clients out of business. How much wealth and power do you need to accumulate seriously?
The question of them moving into the app layer is completely irrelevant. If you are threatened by this the reality you need to begin making peace with is that your business is not going to exist within 10 years. And that's being extremely generous.

Civilization is all about giving up control. Are roads also a mechanism to control people?
UBI is desirable and will likely only come about by the sorts of collective action that defined the labor movement. Are weekends also a "mechanism to control people"? I think you need to consult a history book, it would give you a better grasp of who is "spreading nonsense" here.
