Doesn't solve the problem that the budget they has in mind for the app was $300, while an experienced dev can directly see this is going to be a $20K v.1 before change requests project.

And this is why people continue to do it. And at that, with such a discrepancy, why not? Proof of concept, you know if it adds value and makes money, enough money to pay $20k.

I think the missing proof point is whether companies would fork out the extra $19,700 once they understand the actual cost.

99% of them were never in the bespoke sofware market to begin with. If the $300 did not work put, they'll cobble something together in Excel pr use some SaaS that comes close enough.

So they'll try 5 $300 fixes, and then either give up entirely, or figure out that maybe the 100 developers they ignored who told them it's gonna cost $20K were right.
