It should at the minimum strive to create a business that could potentially support the team working on it? $1000 profit from 8~ people working 2.5 days isn't scalable to even the size of their team, let alone anything bigger.

This comment leads me to conclude that you don't actually understand what Startup Weekend is about.
From (http://startupweekend.org/about/): "Startup Weekends are weekend-long, hands-on experiences where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if startup ideas are viable."

I'm not denying that it was a great exercise, but not a great exercise in building a business. It's not a hackathon, you're supposed to be learning how to build the framework for a sustainable business.
