We’re headed to a world of more viable alternatives. And companies competing on customer service. After all, putting in the energy to migrate to a one-week-old web framework isn’t in the risk appetite of most of Vercel’s customers; unless Vercel is truly distasteful as a vendor, and then people can leave with less effort than before.

Really good news for both consumers and business.
There are many lessons to take away from this and future businesses and investors will think about this.
