Why does it have to be original to be a product people will pay for? There are plenty of unoriginal yet profitable products.

What you've said is all true, but most users today don't use computers like that. Arguably developers already do if they have SSH access somewhere, but if repl.it brings that experience to a general audience via a web browser then it's already valuable.

If the Chrome cloud VM idea[1] can raise millions in funding, so can a web timesharing system. ;)
