I really appreciate this comment. So much of marketing is "puffery" or based on what would be best for the app creator for the audience to believe. Sometimes that lines up with reality, sometimes it doesn't.

In this case the marketing copy seems more like creator wishcasting or living in the past. I've fallen into this trap before too, of creating things as if AI was a secret in my basement and not something of intense focus by a plurality of 20 million+ software developers. Rarely does a technology landscape change so fast.

How you're framing it is helpful as well. Instead of saying "this already exists (so you shouldn't do it)", I think it's valuable to highlight what a competitive space this is. The creator will need to think hard about what they can do to differentiate their offering in 2026, both in marketing and functionality.
