Only if the prospective employer was confused and thought they were hiring a business exec rather than a developer.

  That's not how things work: when you are hiring a software engineer/developer, you are not looking for someone to produce code by the spec (a "codemonkey"), but to question any assumptions and demands before commiting to them. I wouldn't expect a "business exec" to worry about download/upload speeds (though I'd note that the claim here is that it's all locally running, so inefficient memory usage is likely a bigger deal), so a good software developer would partner on defining the roadmap.

    The vast majority of software and businesses are replicative. If you only hire devs working on unique businesses or those with a sound business case you won't find many. They'll probably be too busy running successful businesses.

      Who said anything about "unique businesses"? A developer that simply (and only) blindly builds what they are told is rarely a part of a successful team. This translates to technical implementation plans too, but I am highlighting that if you want to get hired, you should showcase how you balance opposing priorities, requirements and time. And once you do, you'll be judged on them.
