If they are even mildly successful in this one niche they are going to see four me-too startups in three months (one of which will be bought by a national auto parts chain before the year is out) and see the core idea applied to five other niches before they close an A round.

Are you saying that they shouldn't bother because if they are succesful someone else might copy them?

Possibly. But not a given that the copycats will be successful. Can you point to any examples of your thesis?
