The difference is that you worked there. You knew the company. You knew the industry. You knew what the actual current strategy was!
This is just some rando internet person making reductive statements about a company whose current offerings they are unaware of and future product roadmap they have never seen.
I worked at a similarly sized company to Dropbox, and when I questioned product decisions I would often receive similarly smug put downs. How could you possibly think you know more than the CEO?
And then I watched over the next few years as the product strategy floundered, reorging many times without shipping anything concrete.
I suppose what I’m saying is that not only does your comment not contribute to any interesting conversation, it can also likely be wrong as well. Some times when product decisions seem questionable, they really are questionable.
