Indeed. It's easy to make anything. It's hard to make something great.
Any developer can make a crappy product with no finish and no market fit. It's a lot harder to pull off something that large numbers of users love and get excited about, and even harder to make something they're willing to pay good money for.
I'll grant the author that some niches are more easily served because they have basically no software available, so in those cases even bad software is better than nothing, but those niches are not so easy to find, and even in those cases, figuring out what software to build (rather than copying and extending someone else's offering) is pretty hard.
