And new companies are created every day, and new systems are designed every day, and new applications are needed every day.

The market is nowhere close to being saturated.

You're just begging the question.

What are examples of these "new applications" that are needed every day? Do consumers really want them? Or are software and other companies just creating them because it benefits those companies?

Most of the software written worldwide is created for internal company usage. Consumers don't even know that it exists.

I've worked (still do!) for engineering services companies. Other businesses pay us to build systems for them to either use in-house or resell downstream. I have to assume that if they're paying for it, they see profit potential.
