As a shortcut my brain "feels" something is correct or incorrect, and then logically parse out why I think so. I can only keep so many layers in my head so if I feel nothing is wrong in the first 3 or 4 layers of thought, I usually don't feel the need to discredit the idea. If someone tells me a statement that sounds correct on the surface I am more likely to take it as correct. However, upon digging deeper it may be provably incorrect.
I wonder if they made Descript an offer before starting this project. Although, the base problem of editing audio or video with text isn't that difficult. They probably thought it could easily be cloned. The devil is in the details however, and the rabbit hole runs deep.
I'm targeting backend developers who want a quick front-end that (in a way) works as a backend api. It's not overly customizable, but it's solid and people don't have to worry about the frontend.
I understand you leave money on the table, but you would spend less on support and less money trying to get your website to be 200ms faster to load. This is speaking from an Indie Hacker perspective. This could be potentially worth millions of dollars for a bigger business.
They have a GUI editor and their custom server runs a full python backend. One of the co-founder's has given a lot of talks about designing their system and I think it's pretty interesting.
