I think it would be nice to do this, but maybe by offering a drop-in replacement for an old/proprietary dependency. Something like a new compiler for some ancient language still in niche use? Or a "DBMS" server that speaks the same wire protocol as Sybase or Oracle... but uses cloud storage for the data? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KspNLO9i9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KspNLO9i9g A bit like this floppy disk retailer... I wonder what the software equivalents are, where there are businesses with some massive custom applications that depend and still run on platforms that are not being improved? Offering a drop-in replacement that solves some of the platform problems, but does not require reworking the application itself should have an existing market to tap into.
