This made me think, especially about new browsers and all that.
There was a thread here on HN, a while back, that making a browser is too hard. Maybe not? Could it just be a lemons market?
"Oh, we're pivoting..." Sounds like a good idea as a business. But it seems to lead to a lemons market for the whole space, when everyone does it, does it not?
Could that be the "real" reason why so much harder to get a new cool product off the ground in 2025 as compared with 1995? The space was new in 1995 and too much trust hadn't been lost yet?
