Don’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Walking away now might mean throwing away 3 years, but that’s still better than working for another 3 years, still not succeeding, and wasting 6 years.

If someone has spent 1000 days building their MVP and 0 days establishing market fit it's a terrible time to quit.

Realistically they've spent 1,000 days building a pet programming project with little regard to market fit.

Yet it would be wise to try to stablish market fit of the toy he has first, before throwing it away and getting another toy to test for fitness.

But is it worse then quitting after 1000 days building and "1000 days establishing market fit."
