Everytime I hear this, I have to laugh. Setting up a car workshop, carpenter workshop, a bakery, a hair salon etc. will set you back a few ten if not hundred thousand dollars for equipment and/or inventory alone. Meanwhile you can rent servers for low double digits dollars a month and a decent laptop costs $2,000.
The only thing expensive about software development is labor cost. Hardware is ridiculously cheap compared to any other profession.

- gher-shyu3i 6y agoWe're talking about infrastructure costs to run a platform like Uber or Lyft. Do you think that's cheap?
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoIt's a hell of a lot cheaper than serving the same number of customers with physical products.
- foepys 6y agoYes. Compare it to having to buy/lease all cars first like a traditional taxi service.
