Someone could make a backup script wrapped in a GUI, but then people would have to see the "need" in order to start using it.
The bigger danger would be AT Protocol losing its biggest contributor. Unless another VC backed team appeared to fill their shoes, the protocol would stagnate and communities would slowly deteriorate. Hope is critical early on in a protocol's rise to prominence.

It's too easy to "cheat" by panning around until a word toggles in the list, effectively telling you which corner of the screen the word can be found in
Important to note that it's not a dichotomy as long as you're not an "extremist" of either side. Build for yourself and a big market. Take pride in competing at a high level. If you view "hustling" as an 'all work, no play' experience, you're engaged in absolutist thinking.
