We are better off with two platforms poaching ideas from each other.

As long as it stays two or three this is a good thing. If it turns into twelve I’ll be right there beside you with a torch and a pitchfork. Until then I’m sticking with popcorn.

OpenBazaar isn't the only decentralized marketplace out there, but it is the only one with any significant adoption.

It took four years to get there so rebuilding from scratch seems unwise when it's open source and you could add you own improvements or just fork it.
