Flare seems to understand the technicalities of Stellar very well, which is able to create Smart contracts, but Flare also has to understand the risks if later Flare is not able to lift the prestige of Stellar Smart contracts.
The reason is because Stellar really has a lot of competitors if only profit is taken from Smart contracts, for example the coins that have smart contracts are TRON, Binance, Ethereum, Chanilink and Polkadot.
