But seriously, no. I literally gave you examples of this strategy happening. Here's some more companies doing it: Venmo, Move Pass, YouTube, Google, Amazon (store), Facebook, Robinhood, Vanguard, need I continue?
Simple models are great to get the basics, but if they worked for most things in the world everything would have a O1 solution.
