software businesses are not like watches (recently saw a youtube video about fakes being made virtually identical at 10% of the price).
If you can make a facebook clone it doesn't mean you can steal facebook's lunch. there are exceptions of course.

Now even if you want your idea to compete with all the other todo apps with your special sauce, youre giving a third party your recipe. That third party ostensibly has no reason to steal it, their business model does.
So, sure, if your app is a cult of personality and nothing special, i admit it doesnt matter.
But the number of software home runs is dwarfed by all other auccess on individual products
At their scale I'd expect it to be only worth stealing potential home runs and even so, imagine they did this a couple of times, how would that make them look? Do you think it would be worth the bad blood and mass exodus that would follow?
