IMHO there is a growing niche of creating websites on WP (or any other extensible CMS) as a way to cheaply test your ideas rather than invest the upfront cost of building a site from scratch. Providing a service of building websites quickly & cheaply using something like WordPress can be valuable and lucrative even in the corporate world. I recently proposed this to my company for a new project and got the green light (after getting quotes of above $15K from other shops for a custom job). It was however difficult to find WP hackers easily and ended up building the site myself (in a fraction of the time and cost).
