Would not that definition make for example a novel use of an API a breach? It is not what the publisher expected, but someone else was creative and used the available data in a new fashion.
More likely the MVP covered all the basics that the platform should do. Then all the rest of the legal requirements had to be implemented and that broke it.
Support for secret identities, all the special needs, support for non employees, legal guardians and a million other things which is important for the last 5%.

I have the exact same experience. Like many readers here on HN i love to get new gadgets. I've been looking for an upgrade for several years now just for the sake of it.
But, the device is still rock solid and newer ones don't add any relevant additional extra value to motivate the decision.
Since I read several books per week my Kobo Auro One is the single best purchase I've ever made. :)
It took me quite a long time to find out what the product actually does. There is a lot of info on why to choose it, but only a quote from a customer mentions that it is a "scheduling & booking platform".
I'm still not sure that's what it is, but I'll take Mehmet Arziman's word for it.
There are other values than monetary which also should be considered. Fixing the old machine will not produce waste, transports etc and will also provide a livelyhood to someone.
This could serve as a good example of how politicians manipulate voting areas to ensure majorities. The results are probably correct, but the result is misleading.
Here in Sweden I've noted that some sellers have started adding a Swish-number for payments. Swish is a Swedish payment service where you basically send money to a phone number.
This is great since the only risk for the seller now is the produce. The cash can not be stolen.
