I have seen this argument many times before over the years. Formerly it was applied to someone creating a new programming language.

People always told them they were wasting their time, and they were probably right about that.

On the other hand every programming language that people rely upon today also had people telling them this when they started out.

It's ok to attempt something that probably won't work if all you need is for enough people to make enough attempts that one of them works.
