The SDK layer matters more than people think. Developer experience is a moat — not because the technology is hard, but because switching costs compound. Every integration test, every error handler, every edge case in the SDK becomes technical debt for anyone considering alternatives. The pattern repeats: Twilio owning telephony SDKs, Stripe owning payments SDKs. When you control the smoothest on-ramp, you shape which competitors even get considered.
