"nimble" "giants" are not two words I'd associate with (m)any companies... :)

Do you think a Trello/Asana/Slack/MS/Google wouldn't be "nimble" enough to riff on a successful feature? See: Facebook/Instagram -> Snap.

Trello = Atlassian, they already have a heavyweight wiki tool. Asana/Slack, why would they go outside their core competence.

But even if a company did want to copy something, it really comes down to passion and execution, I've seen this play out a number of times.

Trello, actually, makes a point here. Atlassian paid $425M for it, when they could have just copied it. There's a lot more to it.
