This could also be called the game/app developer falacy. How many programmers started out wanting to make that perfect game/app? only to realise doing so is tedious and boring compared to dropping a $1 on a finished product.
This immediately made me think of a quote about folks wanting to get into the games business:
"Thinking that 'Hey, I like playing games, so maybe I'd like making them' is sort of like saying, 'Hey, I really like taking baths, maybe I'd like to be a plumber." -- Jesse Schell
To be a successful game developer, you not only have to love games, you really have to love MAKING games, too.
