The problem is the software has already been made in the past. It has built up over time. Just like songs. There are so many already there.

When smartphones just came out I was already not making websites anymore. But every single app I made got at least 10k downloads in one week and around 1/5 got in the top 10 of a category like "social" even though I've only ever spent maybe a month max on developing any single app.

But now there are soooo many already there. Good luck getting into the top 10 social now with one weekend of coding.
