I do love the juxtaposition of this line, with your following accusation of people on HN engaging in "identity politics". In my view the argument "X can't be better than Y, otherwise we'd all be using X". Is wrong for the same reason that "K can't be a good idea for a company to start otherwise someone would've started it already." Some things are too early, some things are marketed poorly, sometimes it's luck, some times is dedication in sticking with it. I strongly believe that markets aren't efficient and have lots of imbalances. I also strongly believe that life isn't efficient and has lots of imbalances.
