Main idea here is that while it's great in theory that anybody can build an alternative client, in practice it doesn't make sense or may be a futile effort depending on the purpose of the client. Plugins potentially fix that gap by allowing for customizability at the Warpcast layer

Flink as a side project already getting more sign ups than Warpcast is a sign that a sufficiently motivated developer can compete.

iOS and Windows worked because they did the initial work to get a sufficiently sized user base. We’re at least 100x away from that to be meaningful enough for venture-backed clients to care.

Until then, expect more hobbyist and open source projects or using FC graph to bootstrap (vs. primarily a client)

Yeah Flink is the best counterexample. And it's still small and early enough to where it's totally possible for more clients to emerge and get similar behavior, kinda like nouns
