Alternaltive reason: there are many axis of winning.
You can be the funniest person in the world but you can still be “beat” on the axis of prettyness by being less attractive. You can have the faster app, but the worse interface. You can be the better driver, driving a shitty car.
People are winning all the time but only on some axis and not others. Winning on all axis is hard, winning on all relevant axis is easier but still hard. humans are in a constant race to differentiate themselves from the competition on different axies.
(this is also my reason as to why I disagree with race to the bottom. I don’t think it’s true because there are too many axies of contest.
