It's ridiculous that this would be an economical business plan.

Usual business mindset on something like this is, "Sure, this is not economical for us, but it's only for six to nine months while the software guys code up the real software. In the mean time, we'll collect and maintain market share, and we'll just swap in the real software when it's ready."

Better than thinking you can just swap in a real engine

Offshoring continues to reap dividends. Only thing that's going to stop that is AI, and that means no one, here nor there, will have jobs

The business plan is to get marketing and to grow the value of the stock even if they actually losing money with that.
