If I had to guess it would be that every business needs (or thinks they need) a custom website, and often some custom software processes, and definitely their own custom network and IT, and likely some slightly customized ERP. But rarely, very very rarely, do any businesses want custom chips or computers such that a CE is required. The demand for software is so high.
What is interesting in these kinds of discussions is that intuitively, nobody really beliefs in the law of supply & demand. On an emotional level, people always think that effort and difficulty should be rewarded on their own - which is actually correct from a social and ethical POV, and yet:
markets are markets operating under the iron law of supply and demand.
And this is precisely why credentialism and large parts of academia must go. The incentives are perverse.
Likewise just because something is potentially worthwhile doesn't mean it's valuable in a specific instance. E.g. drinking water is required for survival and thus extremely worthwhile, but so cheap that restaurants give it away for free when you order anything else.
