your comment "If it prints money" doesn't apply in reality and it comes off as if you won this argument to HN readers, which in fact no
Plenty of companies don't do what you say and still become successful.
However, for a pure software solution with little market expertise, I suspect what you are saying is correct because the barrier is so low. If you can "build an app" in a weekend, so can 1000s of other people.
