Yes! And like … “out-compete” assumes a zero sum game. There are massive industries where the tools used to serve different market segments only barely overlap decades after the “game changing” tool was made available.

Like, screw the whole “artisanal small-batch software” argument—there are massive new systems being written in C every day despite decades of claims that it is an obsolete language doomed to be replaced by better alternatives. Those alternatives caught on in some segments and not in others. Electric cars caught on in some segments and not in others. Steel-and-concrete building construction caught on in some segments and not in others. It’ll be fine.
