This is needlessly dismissive. How many SaaS startups are "shims" over linux, docker, or node.js? It's still the idea that counts. GPT is a massive enabler and this data clearly shows that. I get that the barrier to entry is at all time low, but is that a bad thing?

Shim over linux?

Right, how many products are just shims over the CPU instruction set.

Most kernels and some OSs.

i don't think that is true. ideas are basically statistics. someone will have a great idea somewhere, but until that idea gets executed, widely spread and tested by reality it will remain as if basically not having been had.

so no, i don't think that the idea is what counts.
