Software has rarely been the moat. Or file formats. You have always been able to reverse engineer them. The problem, always, has been network effects.

I can build an entire, fairly useful, spreadsheet app over a weekend. But can I send my "expenses.cells" files to my accountant? Will it work with the Excel/Google docs he uses?

AI can build or reverse engineer anything as long as you are motivated enough to do it.
