I believe the point is that, since the electoral races are already decided in terms of party, the only decision is whom to nominate. This decision is made in the primaries, by a very small number of voters.

FAANG won’t send auditors to check whether your are in compliance with what license you paid for. Per core/socket licensing is one of the reasons POWER can do SMT/8.
