There are plenty of products that launch on top tools and frameworks that are worth far more than the underlying will ever be. OpenAI is creating products, DeepMind was creating tools.

It's not a matter of skill as much as objective. And DeepMind would still be starting at zero if they decide to pivot to products.

Look at SIP vs Facetime. We already had SIP av calls forever, few ever heard of it.

I certainly haven’t! But the canonical example would be Xerox’s Alto vs the Macintosh.
