Or "rent seeking" type tools/options that should be baked into products from a much earlier point.

There was an app for OSX that added window snapping, long before Apple added it to their desktop environment. $5 or something for a free feature that just makes sense to build into your product from the start. Apple is king at absorbing this sort of paid add on, eventually. AI makes that faster.
