Yes but there was always an official one even though it was complete dog shit garbage that didn't matter to the average person that's what they are going to use. They don't care nor think about alternatives. It's easy to forget what the masses think about especially in places like this.

But that's not really the case with decentralized platforms there are a ton of different clients none of them are technically official and pretty much all of them is missing something it's just a matter of what's each one missing. And thats enough to kill usability for most average people
