This is such a classic HN comment, sorry. You start off with a totally fair premise, asking genuinely if this is a difficult problem.
But then, you go on to speculate not just that it's probably not technically difficult, just "clever", and then go even further to speculate that it's probably "not exactly a technology that seems worth acquiring." Are you asking questions in good faith or are you making claims? What you wrote here seems less a genuine question and more a post to downplay bump's work and their acquisition as worthy.
