Your previous comment suggested nobody will develop that software because it has poor financial outcomes, that was what I was responding to.

Of course you're right in this comment. Just because something exists doesn't mean people will know about it or trust it. Relationships, support, marketing etc that businesses provide go a long way to helping adoption.
