Restaurants have an infamously high failure rate and low margins, so I wouldn't use that example if I was arguing for your position. Unlike other people responding, I agree that people without a business background struggle when starting a business. There are a lot of developers who start a business and have no clue about pricing or marketing or sales.[0] They have a high failure rate. If you know one side, you may succeed if you're a quick learner and/or your core idea is good enough, but you're at a disadvantage compared to an individual or team with knowledge of tech and business.
