I think your expectation is misguided. YC's goal isn't to invest in novel or revolutionary companies. They're here to invest in startups that they think may eventually become big businesses. I also abhor the question "how is this different than x's offering"? A startup doesn't need to be meaningfully differentiated from other startups-- it needs to be meaningfully differentiated from what the existing market is currently using.
