If you scroll up to the message you originally replied to, OP's goal posts from the start were companies like Stripe (which was specifically named).

Most businesses aren't in that category, that doesn't mean they aren't able to provide useful services and make money. But your company does not seem like it meets that bar.

Expanding the group to "any money making SaaS" would be moving the goalposts for the point OP was clearly making from the beginning.

Sorry for being a bit dismissive in my previous comment but it was fairly jarring clicking your link expecting a more responsive counter example to their argument, and then left a further bad taste after realizing from your bio that it was self-promotion.

And just to pile on, payments is an incredibly competitive space, and operational excellence is non negotiable for someone like Stripe, as they are a higher priced provider.
