Time is golden, just because I could do something myself doesn't mean spending all that time on it is worth it.

Ah, but I enjoy building.
I enjoy building, too. But there are so many things for me to build that I don't mind paying for shortcuts so I can use my limited time to build things I want to be building.
Even if your audience is other people who enjoy building, it can work because they might build on top of your thing. Think about an arduino. It's open source, and so maybe you could build it yourself, but there's all sorts of other fun stuff that you can build when you can just throw money at that part. It unlocks projects.
