A general purpose tool can't have niche features crudding it up.

That's why you get the tyranny of the marginal user.

As you grow your audience more and more features become distracting to more and more users.

Now every feature you add has to be massive from the beginning, it's not allowed to start small.

So you spend tons of time flailing to find a big thing, or launch some massive, poorly conceived thing and force users to use it.

Meanwhile you keep eroding interesting features out of the product to make everything smoother for larger audiences.
