Hear hear. GitLab has ably demonstrated that their business model works and isn't replicable by hyper-clouds mostly due to making sure the UI is the differentiator (selling it at a premium) and not the APIs (in Micro's case, the CLI) [0]. Micro may want to focus back again on the UI, given they are more or less in the same domain (open-core devtools).
