Long term, no. It's not the best outcome.
But this is the difference between thinking like a "tech person" and thinking like a "sales person" (excuse by rough analogy)
Relationships are a journey. They start with a loose commitment, then slowly build trust over time and ratchet up the customer's investment in the product.
Super-secure apps may be the end goal, but you won't get there without the initial state: discovery via the open web.

@benpate@mastodon.social @smallcircles@social.coop @strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl i don’t know what you mean. I already discovered great secure apps via the open web on websites called signal.org, matrix.org, wire.com, etc etc. And btw I’ve sold plenty of software in my day, with a diverse group of people, and there’s rarely consensus on how to think amongst tech/sales roles, at least not on diverse teams.
