The problem with building everything without dependencies on other peoples' platforms is that it's a lot of work to build your own chip fabrication machines when you just wanted to sell chat bots.

Chat bots on your own hosted platform which has no users isn't something people will want to buy. I mean, some people will want to buy it for click to chat on their websites or something. But if there's a market for chat bots in general spaces, you have to address that market where people are chatting, which is Discord, apparently.
