Not really.

It is a possibility that could happen, but it is not very probable.

I am certain taht millions of services are written and dies in lonely obscurity.

According to a Hulu documentary I watched recently some woman makes over 150K a month from OnlyFans.

Lots of people want that and sign up and the vast majority will not make anything.

Or the more classic moving to Hollywood to become a famous actor making $$$$, or be a rock star.

The chances your services will make billions is slim,

If you write a good library, you can sell it. I would much rather buy a library than a service. (I may be in the minority for sure).

If you give it away, and if it does prove highly popular then wrapping it in a service and offering it that way will create some income.

With that strategy you can iterate over functionality and find out what the market wants the most and create a product that is more mature as a service.
