Of course, but this doesn't mean that they don't exist.
As an example I got a 4* hotel in Copengagen for 600DDK
on HRS. When I checked in, the clerk was amazed at the
price that I had got, she said that I would never have got
such a rate direct from the hotel.

I don't write Web software so I have no idea how complex
it might be, but perhaps 1000 Euro should cover it?

Because it's a completely different business model.
Someone who writes software for a living generally will not
want to run a service company 24/7. They are more than
happy making a one time sale and then walking away.
You are right, it won't make them as much money but
not all people see this as the prime motivator.
