I’m surprised you didn’t list Apple or Walmart. Also, I see the USG as becoming less “rational” (perhaps this is inevitable as a nation-state becomes more democratic) and the Chinese Politburo becoming more so.
Walmart—I agree, is a big miss. This thought was jotted down at my night time.
Apple, I genuinely don’t think that they are genuinely restricting the future in significant ways. They have good products, but the majority of the future’s consumers are coming from value-for-money areas like China, India and Africa (even in the middle-east, apart from the sheikhs, I don’t see the average person having too much money). Apple’s strategy is not going to fly there.

Note: I am employed by the USG.
