The point of SE'ing is to get free things, the smaller, the easier.

This is the case for beginners and standard warranty exploitation. When you have gained sufficient expertise at warranty exploitation, you can go big for no effort at all. For example, I managed to get a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 without investment, boxing, AR, biohazard or any of the usual beginner techniques.

Not always, in a lot of aspects smaller companies are easier because they aren't used to people having faulty products, or claiming they have a faulty product.

I agree with you. I don't SE tiny companies, but small companies are easy to SE.
