Building a product that relies 100% on a single external vendor is taking a huge risk. So many companies have been burned by this in the past that it's amazing anyone doesn't see it as a risky thing.

So I have to believe that the people making these products are intending to make as much cash as possible up front and aren't aiming for a long-term thing.
