I think that if you develop something for a 3rd-party platform without knowing what you're getting into, any negative (i.e. non-profitable) outcome is 100% your fault. I'm certainly not going to ask for my tax dollars to go toward someone that was so excited by greed that they didn't even bother to google around a bit and find out some more about that platform. If you do some preliminary web searches on small business statistics or entrepreneurship, you'll find that plenty of them fail right off the bat. I think that a large part of the reason that people love 'corporate culture' is because it's very secure, unlike when you start your own business and have to actually take some risks with your future.
