Sure, but there are plenty of business problems worth solving even if it takes millions. You're not paying for the person, you're paying for someone to solve your problem.

My friend (annoyed) asks what is he going to do. Locksmith pulls out a bent coathanger. My friend gets angry. Says he could do it himself, he has a coathanger upstairs, he doesn't need the locksmith, £150 is a total rip off, calls him every name under the sun.
Locksmith: "Okay mate, you have a coathanger now?". Friend says no, agrees to pay him. Door opened. £150 well spent.
I think too many people here perceive tech as something that meets their needs when it should be about providing a service to others.
A MacBook repair shop may replace a $0.50 transistor, but charge $200+. What you're paying for is the knowledge and experience in identifying and solving the problem. It's unfortunate that so many consumers don't understand this principle.
I don't know who they found to take the task, but I have to assume they charged them quite a lot because you're just not going to find very many people to solve that particular problem.
Certainly not 10000 per hour, but a significant amount given the Danish market.
