Yes, but there will always be niches where you can make good money, but not enough for the big fish to be interested. For example, my wife uses some statistical software that is apparently pretty popular in her field, but it's still only used within a niche of academia. You might be able to find a niche that brings you $10M/year in profit which is enough to live a lavish lifestyle, but not enough for VCs to fund you or for Amazon to bother competing with you.


Man I'd settle for 200K/year
