I don't think that's correct.  Having nothing can be better than
having something, because then there's an opening to fill.  The price
isn't even an issue: it happens even with free programs.  If someone
needs an XYZ program and none exists, maybe they'll write a good one
and release it.  But if a bad XYZ program already exists, they'll use
that despite its deficiencies.  Thus we have Windows.
