I used to have same attitude but what I have learned over the years is that sometimes the big Co just does not get it. Just look at Google with its 100 chat applications, it's like watching Titanic hitting an iceberg in slow motion.

yeah, it's not. simple things always look "easy" to copy, the brilliance of them is how they have become simple.

For example, I had to roll out MS Teams (a slack clone) for a company event. Big company, big budget, terrible software.
