The confusion arises in the massive gap between

What American investors like

(flashy stuff, built for influencers, tiktokers, and advertisers, massive audience you can capture to mine their data for your AI)

and what PAYING users like

(elegant, efficient, reliable stuff, that does something useful and makes sense running in a LAN, and good customer support)

There is simply much more promise of fast 🤑, in the first one, but the second brings in steady income and is harder to dislodge with a competitor.
