But this sentiment is exactly this issue! "Before you know if people will use it" -- the point is that when people don't use it, is it because it was a bad idea to compete with Facebook or because the design wasn't right? When to give up and when to iterate?
You can't easily change the design of the space shuttle after you built it, so you better get it right.
Consumer hardware isn't quite so permanent, you can always recall the whole thing (samsung phones, early famicom), if you have the money.
