If this came to parity with any of the billion dollar apps it’s trying to replace we would have new laws banning it somehow within a month

    If it comes at parity and businesses start using it, then not only it would be banned but also the dev will be sued to hell for "infringing" their "patents" and "revenue loss" caused because of it.
