I didn't understand your question either. It feels very...jargon-heavy.
It sounds like your question is: if you know who you want to sell to, can you just ask them what they want rather than polling them for feedback on different ideas? Honestly, I think people often don't know what they want because they don't understand which things can be made simpler. That's why someone with a different perspective (hackers) can learn about a market, have some new insight, and come up with something disruptive.

More generally, you can't ask potential customers about "what they want", for reasons that are many. On the other hand, professionals (target market for above) 1, do know what their own pain points are; and 2, have a firm understanding on how much it impacts their pocket; (Note, that I'm talking about professionals here, and not "people in general") Harvesting these informations with the added constraint of "software solutions", can lead to much better educated guesses on what would be worth for future investigations.
