"then you're obviously not entering/creating a new market, nor you are attempting to find a product/market fit, are you?"

Yeah, and if you were entering/creating a new market, usually people do not understand why they need the product you are creating and thus the original analogy still does not work.

Overall I just feel the brick analogy is not great because there are no low hanging fruits anymore. If a problem is so painful, there must exist a competitor OR a home made solution.

Agree with the rest of your statements.

Actually, if I think about this more, then the brick analogy is very useful - if you see someone (or better yet, some whole industry/niche) beating themselves on the head with a metaphorical brick, then this means that they have a very, very important problem and most likely if anyone came to them and told that they have a solution that's simply unpolished but solves most of the problem without hitting your head with the home made brick-solution then the expected response to this description would be "shut up and take my money!".
