Well, the same happened in the early days of the PC. There were all these companies that sold basic utilities like disk scanners, defragmenters, partitioners, antiviruses, etc. When operating systems started to get bigger and include these utilities by default, that industry dried up overnight. I don't think there's anything wrong in building an inherently ephemeral business that just seeks to fill a niche that exists just because someone else hasn't filled it yet.
