What you give up either way

App Store distribution, reviews, and brand-recognition
Polished UX and cross-device widgets matching the App Store release
Built-in in-app purchase revenue & Apple subscription handling (if you skip implementing StoreKit)
Any proprietary analytics, crash reporting, or usage-tracking integrated by the vendor
"Talk to Bestie" AI chat and any server-side features

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Zero Contact, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
