Also for certain products it's almost impossible to sell at scale without an enterprise sales team. Developers won't be "willing" to pay or admit the need for what's basically a glorified web scraper concept that has existed for as long as the web itself.

This is not something that's popular on HN because of the constant myth that "if you build a well-engineered product, customers would magically show up".
