Moreover, the target "audience" of an app is always specified before the design phase, in the Business Requirements Document and such and it's a defining element for the development. I've read/wrote hundreds of such documents in my career, yet I've never seen one that sets its target audience as 'everybody'.

TBF, if you don't understand the people that you're writing your app for, you're probably not going to be very successful.

If your startup has a Business Requirements Document, you launched too late

Or you're not consumer-facing?

You're needlessly rebutting a jokey introduction to an article.

I'd also wager few apps have everyone in the world as active users, which is the next sentence in the article.
