How frequently is a technical moat the thing that makes a business successful, relative to other moats?

I mean, if taxi companies could build their own Uber in house I’m sure they’d love to and at least take some customers from Uber itself.

A lot of startups are middlemen with snazzy UIs. Middlemen won’t be in as much use in a post AI world, same as devs won’t be as needed (devs are middlemen to working software) or artists (middlemen to art assets)

But it's not technical, it's due to uber having spent incredible amounts of money into marketing.
