Value generation in software doesn't equal profit generation. Is it a flawed business model to pursue growth first and profit later? No, as long as there is a good plan to get that future profit. If the 500k developers weren't driving business spending decisions enough to pay for Kite, either it isn't particularly useful or it's a sign of the times. I'm guessing from the rest of the context it's the former, no one seems to be crying out that this is a great product that will be widely missed. This sort of failure is good and a good decision by the business leaders. It keeps our economy healthy, you want the real winners to win, and not every bet works out.
