That analogy works for app code, it doesn't work for technologies, library, frameworks, algorithms. Why build a compiler for this app? YAGNI! makes no sense.
capr··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
Yup, because perfect competition is fundamentally the same as the salary cap, except for companies instead of employees.
