Let's turn this question around.
If I have infinite money to progress whatever problem solution I want but I always wait until I have an unfair advantage to get credit for whatever problem was just at the brink of a breakthrough anyway by sniping the last steps. Am I actually doing a good thing or would it be better to let it run it's natural course and spend the money somewhere it's actually needed?
Sort of like Apple takes validated market products and snipes the last steps to an actual good UX (at least in theory)?
You are probably not too far off given that Apple sometimes releases their own version of a product that a developer established on their platform
The thing is, everyone knows that Apple does that and Apple doesn't care if people have a beef with them.
