Exactly.

The idea that you should "eat your own dogfood" doesn't make a lot of sense if the product is (to draw from my personal experience) an x-ray machine, mechanical respirator, semiconductor metrology tool or electron microscope.

It would be tragic if dogfood workers were forced to eat dogfood.

There are some items that friends have worked on that they never want to use personally and hope no one they know needs it. They work for a medical device maker.
