I'm a developer and have only marginal interest in the business side of things, but give credit where credit is due. Without the financial infrastructure to fund research and R&D, none of modern computing is possible. Fabricating silicon chips or making even moderately complex software is basically a game of numbers with a huge up-front cost that only pays off when you can make (and sell) thousands of the things.

Without somebody selling this stuff computing would remain relegated to huge rooms in Universities.
