alt Hacker NewsIt's basically the same reason why Apple didn't create every app in the App Store. No single company can be specialised in everything, and more importantly, selling tokens is risk-free money since they get a cut for every app without taking any business risk.

I wonder what is stopping apple from cloning the top ten apps in each category using AI and then booting the original developers off the app store.
> No single company can be specialised in everything
Not everything, but a company can be specialized in a lot of different things, Samsung for example, or megacorp in Japan.
I believe this is the correct answer. You can't run 100 businesses because each one would only receive 1/100 of your attention, and they would all perform poorly.
idk they’ve created the most used and differentiating apps though
I thought the agents were largely autonomous, and should replace workers?
If labor is not your constraint, you wouldn't be diverting your specialization.
I think that’s a different argument. Apple absolutely “copies” hugely successful, durable apps. Just read about “getting sherlocked”. The rest of the apps are transient, niche and it’s easier to just harvest your cut of ads/payments.
