I worked on a product where certain capabilities were implemented as required but there was no requirement to display the information to the customer. We had our own internal displays that we could use to view the information. The customer saw our displays one day and wanted them too. We were not allowed to give it to them.

You guessed it- government contract. Support the warfighter my ass.

All the money in the world but these things still take time. Unnecessarily, but still.
