What doublespeak. Startups are 99% execution. All successful startup founders are "execution entrepreneurs." All that really distinguishes the Samwers is that they copy existing ideas, and there are already names for people who do that.

Neither do you.
It's the literal copying of the designs without adding anything novel that I have a problem with. Case in point:
Now if they were churning out half-assed businesses just to capitalize on something that is currently trendy/popular then that's a different story. Just look at the Android market, it is full of copies of original indie games that came out on iOS first.
Honest question: What name is that? (English is not my first language.)
And since I cannot quite interpret the tone of your comment I have to ask bluntly: Do you find it okay what the Samwers do?
I don't like what they do. It's ok to take an existing idea and adapt it. E.g. to try to make a web-based version of a desktop app. But there is something contemptible about copying something so literally that you even copy the mistakes.
