I don’t deny that they are great products with incredibly talented engineering teams.

All of that doesn’t matter when 90% of your revenue comes from series C startups that will go bust in a year, or switch to cheaper and marginally worse alternatives.

The world is littered with dead companies that had great products.

That matters in a growth market, only revenue and positive margins matter now.
