I don't understand why this got down-voted, it makes a lot of sense.

How many successful car mechanics are there vs how many successful software companies are there? I'd say you'd have many, many, many times more successful car mechanic companies than software companies.

The successful mechanics won't make as much profit as the successful software companies, but more mechanic companies will succeed.

It'd be interesting if someone did some research on wealth and income inequality in the software industry; I think the numbers would be mind-boggling.
