It's far more accurate to say, we need fewer software builders.
This is normal, there will be more and new software products.
It's much cheaper to open a restaurant, then build a word processor that someone can get value out of. It's much harder to build your restaurant chain to serve 100,000 people, then it is to scale your word processor, that can serve 100 people, to serve 100,000 people.
If you have too few users, this means that you can't afford to eat, while too many users means that other app developers can't afford to eat.
'Half a billion' figuratively speaking is not much, if you account for all internal apps in enterprise (ex approval flow for weekly cafeteria menu). If there are millions of small and medium enterprise then there would be millions of cafeteria menu app.
I'd count that into the apps (and workflows) we don't need.
I also could use a half billion units sold.
