"no one really knows what people would exactly do with the ability to modify their software."

I think we do. Excel, and the various systems implemented on top of it. To my understanding systems built on top of Excel are used to run all sorts of things, even live hardware, because it's so approachable and easy to modify.

Perhaps Eve can be 'sold' to the industries that rely on Excel. First the project can just add @excel database....
