To some level I agree - but at some point there is also much on the "business side" that cannot be easily dealt with. Like having connection or some kind of relation with people who will buy the stuff or would have people who would be interested in buying stuff you make.

Yes there are these "idea people" who don't have any clue about business side and don't have any clue about technical side and in the end don't even have the right connections or business network. But they think they can make it because they have an idea(TM). These could basically play lottery and outcome would be the same they might make it but chances are 1:1000000 at best.

Then there are these business people who have the right connections and have understanding of niche/business they are in .. that need technical help to execute their idea and these are worth their weight in gold.
