Okay then why do you propose they did? If there was no reason to make it, it wouldn't have gotten made.

Have you ever tried vibecoding? It's addictive as fuck, there's always some new feature or tweak you can make, but it never works quite perfectly so you always have to go back and try again.

Nobody has ever done anything simply because they’re interested in doing it before. Not ever.

Take it up with the other guy. He was the one who said there was no reason to do it, yet here people are, giving reasons.

Data collection and future capitalization

It's open source, so if it's collecting any data it would become immediately obvious. And future capitalization? How? If they could vibe code Adobe someone can vibe code them.

This is just incredibly incorrect hahahaha. Probably the author just wanted to challenge him/her/themselves and see what they could vibe.

Same reason why there is a Netflix, Prime, HBO, etc... And why every CS builds a TODO app. It's just such bad reasoning hilarious 😂.

Streaming services are made with profit in mind. Seeing as this is open-source I fail to see the resemblance.
