And? Do we have a single example of this happening?

That's just fear and doubt to me. Someone paying you to do a software
which will fit their very own needs do not have time to sell it or
whatever. They want to use it for their productivity need. And their is
also some case where a software is so tailored for some specific use
that no one else will be able to use it in their workflow.
