It's actually people dont want a drill they want to hang a picture.

Exactly! So the drill is entirely optional if you have something like tape. Or a railing or a piece of wire.

It's crazy how often my clients ask for a solution for me to cod while a way cheaper one / pragmatic one can be done in minutes that is enough for them to test the hypothesis for their product market fit.

And with the right marketing, sometimes they just want to be the kind of person who owns that drill, whether they end up using it or not.
