That would be enough to call the conclusion bogus; there are millions of software packages that are written in specific niches which would bore anyone to death. They are also often written over years or even decades with input from 10 to 1000s of employees of a company. There is always money in that for software. And you can say; ok, so let’s skip internal software; a lot of software starts as internal and becomes a packaged or saas product after. I know many companies who wrote very niche internal software over the years and then decided to start selling it to competitors.
