Totally true (and unfortunate) that so many founders go down that path. If it helps, we've never really seen a strong pull revenue-wise to go down that direction. We strongly prefer to make beautiful premium software that helps people. That kind of corporate spyware would likely need an enterprise product/sales team, and is generally a kind of race-to-the-bottom of price and (honestly boring to build) commodity features. As founders, there are plenty of more interesting spaces for us to work in instead of that and none of us are motivated to work in that direction.
