I feel like that's equivalent to saying "DDG is not bread, it's a sandwich built on top of other breads"

Maybe Google makes the best bread, but it might be true that someone might make a sandwich on inferior bread that makes for a better overall snack.

In case you don't see the problem inherent in even your analogy: If the bakery goes away, or refuses to sell further bread to the sandwich maker, the maker is fucked.

And there's less than ten bakeries world-wide.

And if the sandwich maker actually got popular enough that people would only buy from them, then the bakeries would indeed give them the finger.
