I wouldn't describe this as an ego injury just as I wouldn't describe someone selling a tiger-repellent rock to me as an ego injury.

It's a matter of perspective IMO. A developer naturally tends to trust their own problem solving ability, so they need tools that accelerate it, and need to understand these tools precisely.

For a business owner both third party and in-house solutions are more or less opaque, you just need to decide who you trust more and compare the bills.
