I think the problem is a bit higher level then that. This project feels like it lacks the necessary experienced leadership. What they are doing is Not Easy and this is being borne out by their product. Building apps isn't too hard, designing systems is.

Building apps is hard. Designing systems is hard. I wouldn't play down the difficulty of doing any of these things well at any large scale.
