The post is really incoherent. If I'm understanding it correctly, it's trying to say "product" is claude code/cowork/paper/codex/etc, not the model. So building a claude code/cowork/paper/codex/etc clone with a model selector is bad, because you're just cloning a successful product and the model doesn't matter so you don't have a product because (again) it's just a clone.
I think I get what it's trying to say, but there is so much roundabout thinking.
Just say "Focus more on the user experience and trying to distinguish yourself from the frontier lab product you're trying to copy. Your users won't tolerate a clone-with-model-selector for too long"? I think
