You are very right in saying this, but I would have to contend that there is a large scope for quick-to-market apps and small, simple-purpose apps. In addition to that, it seems that many apps created today themselves have a limited lifespan, after which they are replaced by something else (though you can never tell upfront). The other side of the coin is building something with the intent of maintaining it for many years, only to find it is obsolete within 2. (Meaning that the "right tool for the job" cannot always be determined correctly in software development).
