I think it flows like this: Software is eating the world = the cost of launching is coming down. Therefore more and more developers are starting companies. That translates into a lot more developers as decision makers. Developers who are serious about building businesses understand the criticality of focusing in on competitive advantage and not building every requirement they have for running the business. Therefore the real emergence of a B2D market. (I think the ones that are still in the "I can build this myself" mindset aren't going to scale much beyond their own project.) My feeling is Stripe is the poster child for the B2D movement btw but not mentioned anywhere.
