What is easy to copy is usually the final crystallization.

What is hard to copy is the architecture that kept choosing that crystallization over all the others.

copyable artifact ≠ copyable architecture

That is why “they can clone it in days” is often true at the product layer and still incomplete at the company layer.

They cloned the surface, not the engine.
