I don’t believe that your clarification of the point you quoted is correct. It sounds more as if the commenter wanted to point out that it is better to outsource/Saas chat, login, design and the likes to some external service instead of wasting time on it initially. With that said - I believe you have a point in what you stated. A lot of products came out as a better copy of another product.
