### AI overview

The article argues that scaling platform engineering in large enterprises is primarily a diplomatic challenge rather than a technical one. It uses Star Trek's Borg as a metaphor for centralized, tightly controlled platforms and presents federated platforms as a way to reduce political friction, improve interoperability, and turn resistant application teams into allies.
