No, what I'm saying is that it's not a good idea to build on apps that
have one tiny part of the functionality, but are otherwise entirely
different in scope and architecture. Because the bit doesn't help if you
need to completely change everything from the bottom up.

It is a better idea to build on something that might seem quite
different regarding the current user experience, but has suitable
architecture.

Starting with the backend is simply another sensible and obvious
approach.

I complain not about it being discussed, but the way it is discussed.

Your ignorance of the other parts my mail imply that you don't have much
substance to offer.
