Totally incorrect, at least in a business context. If it were the case, you would build that useful and valuable product and then give it to your customer for free. But you would never, ever, do that (unless it was specifically as a loss leader for other products) because making money is the goal.

Business context is not the whole reality, only a part of it and it's losing it's purpose.

That’s not true because giving it away would mean you wouldn’t be able to produce the product.
