Great ideas are cheap to copy but not cheap to generate (time-/skill-/moneywise). Execution has always some cost, and the cost trend is towards 0 (but not 0, because everything cost eventually and someone has to pay the amortized cost).

I'd say what matters again is authenticity, i.e. intentful design and intentful business==product(s). Businesses==product(s) that are created to respect the user, make their life (private-/businesswise) less sad. Giving prompt "make me a unicorn" isn't authentic/intentful business/product design. Real businesses==products have to prove their reason for existence (and keep doing it ad infinitum), so customers can trust them and keep them alive with cash flow.

If there is a bad business/product in market, in a long run it is buyers to be blamed, because they are the ones supporting its existence with cash flow. VC/loan cash can only give time==money for companies couple of years, because eventually someone has to pay the cost.

And I'd say the most "quality/intentful" products are not the ones that makes the most money on the market. One has to choose whether do design "The Witness" xor "Candy Crush Saga".
