The problem is that systems like this have strong network effects working in favor of the established options, nobody develops for platforms without users, nobody wants to use a platform without apps, development has more resources (existing libraries, tutorials, reference documentation,…) on existing platforms,…

So, help break the circle. You can target any of the nodes you mentioned.

develop for the platform even if it has no issues (file it as “future-proofing”, “engineering concept”, whatever).

use the platform while waiting for apps to come up, provide feedback on what apps are needed (and provide feedback on what can be done app-less, which is even more important).

provide resources for develpopment (this one is somewhat more restricted).

None of the technologies that are abusing the network effect today started with a full charter of users.
