Survivorship bias anyone?
How many times did a project fail, because it the non-aspects (e.g. scalability) were undernegineered? How many times did it fail because it couldn't ship on time/budget due to excessive engineering? We do not normally read such stories, because they are totally unexciting, taken separately. And one failed case of GoChat does not a worthy stat make.
Ultimately, good job to the guy for nailing a sweet spot between his skills and the market of the application created by those skills. Just do not assume that's everybody's sweet spot.
