Aren't things bound to come to a point where quality is a defining feature of certain products? Like take video game software for example. The amount of polish and quality that goes into good selling games is insane. There video game market is so saturated that the things that come up on top must have a high level of polish and quality put into them.

Another thought experiment: imagine thousands of company startups for creating task managers. I can't imagine that those products with strong engineering fundamentals wound't end up on top. To drive this point even further, despite the rise of AI, I don't think I've seen even one example of a longstanding company being disrupted by an "AI native" "agentic first" company.
