OtherStuff is much more work and requires more and higher skill sets, that's why, and you need to have a deep understanding of the topic covered. You're not competing with cute little software widgets like X or WhatsApp, but with large, complex, specialized applications like Teams or GitHub or Jira or SAP or Turbotax or Amazon.
That's why just throwing a bunch of money at whoever you think is cool doesn't get that job done. You have to find the right team for the job and they have to be willing to work on the same damn thing for years. Because developing on Nostr is inherently faster, it attracts developers who want to get done quickly, which means they usually run out of energy after a couple of weeks or months because they're easily bored.
That's why they don't test or bug-fix or straighten out the DevOps: too tedious, too slow, too boring.
Even many of the people being paid to work on this stuff full-time don't have a serious attitude about it because the serious people already have jobs writing software for serious things, like calibrating motors, planning logistics tours, or back office management.
That's why we went straight to the OtherStuff.
If nobody knows who you are and/or nobody likes you, and you have no funds or attention, you have to do the hard stuff other people won't do. It's just like IRL.
