You may have been saying this tongue in cheek but it's an important thing to consider when choosing a platform.

I got very burnt once (in terms of time wasted anyway) by a startup that couldn't decide what it wanted to do.

They had an amazing BaaS product that probably was making good coin already that I am sure would have got them a buy out eventually but they decided to pivot to work on a DB abstraction layer and shut the whole thing down.

If they had just pursued the original vision they would be minted by now instead of trying to convince people their commercial layer is better than the umpteen other free ones.
