This is textbook startup strategy: new companies disrupt incumbents with products that have less features. The startup finds a pain point in their audience and delivers on that. I don't know about Supabase enough to comment, but your assessment of them having an inferior product + their popularity makes me think the 'disruptive innovation' process is on its way. Having less features makes it easier to talk to users about their main issues and reduce friction in onboarding/setup/etc. Maybe Parse became so complete it's really hard to get started. I guess my doubt is, what's the point you are trying to make? That their product isn't good enough to warrant so much attention + funding since there are better options, that it's just marketing and good docs and everyone is just being fooled into using a lesser product?
