This is why I believe Bill Gates' statement that "90% of software hasn't been written yet" is (perpetually) true. Alas, the Venn diagram of domain knowledge (for any given niche) and any measure of competence developing products is tiny. And the work just isn't interesting. A friend made good money writing property tax administration software for municipalities. Tried to recruit me for years. I helped on some stuff, enough to verify I wasn't well suited to that type of work. Older me could probably do it happily.
