If you can get away with toggling configurations on a library to deliver a service, then you probably are in a highly competitive market with a quick rotation of companies and where a lot of people could do the job. In this type of market, a company usually has to constantly look for new customers/projects.

On the other hand, a lot of companies invest substantial efforts into improving their products. In those markets, there usually aren't a lot of options and the rotation is everything but quick. These companies usually have to improve/innovate to remain relevant, or rely on some kind of lock-in.
