Taste is the last key differentiator between those who win and those who lose.

There used to be a variety of differentiators that would distinguish between winners and losers, such as speed or novelty, nowadays however Taste remains as one of the last.

Speed (as in how fast you can get to market, or how fast you operate) is quickly approaching a speed limit, thanks in part to AI tools for going from idea to half baked product extremely quick.

Novelty (as in having a new idea, or approaching from a new perspective) is also generally becoming more of a general commodity than a rare strike of luck. Or rather it might take more luck to come up with a new idea now than it might have 100 years ago.
