Dogfooding does not require interest. Yes something niche that a developer on their own will never use is difficult (I think we had this as some of the previous companies I have worked at). Still, you should get the development team to use and demo the system on a semi regular basis. Make creating project ideas or something that they can use your product to make and play with. Tell them to take off every X hours a week or two weeks or something to ensure they are constantly using the product. It's harder but in my experience it's still necessary. At least I've never seen a good product come from a team that didn't also use the product. That I know of, anyway.
