You can. However 1 billion potential customers are dangerous to ignore. It isn't just that they don't buy from you, it is that they buy from your competition - which can include a brand new company they start locally - which gives your competition enough cash to design their next version better than yours.

Its not dangerous to ignore if it results in your entire IP portfolio getting expropriated and used to crush you.

Its a siren song that is enabled by increased quarterly profits, even knowing full well the risks, it will be another CEO and board before they come home to roost.
