I don't even disagree with what you are saying. I just don't know if it is succeeding because of the quality of the solution, or the weight of the author.
My hunch is it is a little of both. Combined with a giant dose of not caring about existing solutions. Which is not to be scoffed at too heavily. Being able to say "I don't care" about existing users is a huge asset that any startup should not discard. One of your biggest assets is the lack of external assets to be liabilities.
Still leaves me sour to see the hubris that there is something intrinsic to this. There likely isn't.
