Bentley has a market cap of around $15B. It's worth something to somebody. Their only serious market is DOT work and their position is attributable to administrative inertia and aggressive vendor lock-in.

The second problem is realizing that the CAD approach of imitating a paper process from last century isn't actually necessary.
