I think what they were saying is this company puts off snake oil vibes. It's like calling Microsoft a success in the game industry when they bought companies or products to position themselves as a leader of the industry when the argument can be made that they couldn't build it back up if it went under.
You seem to be focused on software development as the only 'legitimate' avenue to building a company/business; if this is true, why? Are VCs 'illegitimate' for being unable to run the companies and develop the corresponding products they profit from? Are software developers 'snake oil' vibe-y for being unable to create the hardware they rely on?

xBox is pretty successful, no? Is the ability to building it back if it went under the only test/indicator of a successful business operation?
