Seems as though things take off regardless of whether they’re open/closed if there’s good product market fit.

Open/Closed seems to matter more in terms of whether platforms can achieve/maintain scale, but even then it seems like it’s a required attribute. See examples of wildly successful closed platforms: Apple, Facebook, Twitter

A lot of “open platforms” seem like they’re putting the cart before the horse.

Sure if strong PMF sudden appears by chance for an open platform, it will be more likely to catch the wave and be successful. But it’s also in just as likely that the PMF never materializes
