Another reason "from scratch" is just crazy talk: If they start from scratch it means literally redoing all the libraries. The thought of apple redoing parsers for PDF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, XML, etc, doesn't really invoke confidence for me. They probably create more bugs than the working library has. Unless they do it in rust but even then some bugs inevitably remain.

I thought this is exactly a tech stack post-mortem.

There need not be break-even analysis, cash flow analysis and such, because if the core product doesn't deliver, the startup goes belly up. The only exception to this rule is if you're in the nutritional supplement business.
