This is not how most of the money is made in the software industry.
Are you sure? I agree that the most profitable companies are not doing that, but at least from what I've seen in a few European markets, the number of developers writing custom software for one client (consulting or in-house) or maintaining stable applications absolutely dwarfs the number of developers writing new products.
I work on a consulting company that customizes a relatively little known open source platform (Odoo) and the number of small and micro companies doing the same over the world is staggering.
