It's literally a duct tape hack more than an actual app. The database models and security of apps built on top of WordPress are horrible most of the time. I agree that WordPress is enabling for a lot of people who bootstrap this kind of things and are not tech savvy or don't have the funds to build an application. I also know that it's scary to tackle these things when you don't know where to start. A false assumption people fall for a lot of times is that it'll be cheaper that way. It won't. If you consider starting with WordPress you should keep in mind to change the framework as quickly as possible. A good time to change it is when the idea is validated.
