What they are more likely building is regional processing centers. Meaning most people have a tablet, a laptop, and a phone. All with ram, silicone, memory, and resources that sit the majority of the time. The phone gets more usage. But what if those tools were access points to a larger computer that did the processing for you? What if meant instead of having a stronger chip on your phone you just had sufficient speed of transfer for a larger computer to do the processing?

That would reduce the production costs of everything. Be easier to manage the supply chain, require fewer rare earth minerals

AND they can control/monitor all of the throughput? Security against enemies.

In a perfect world this sounds fantastic, but it will most certainly be exploited.

You know... Because people.

Oh yeah, this will totally only be used altruisticly. No funny business.

Yup. Once they have crested a point of adoption they are okay with. They don't even need 50% of the population. They just need to split the room enough that we group ourselves according to arrow's fallacy.
