You can make a lot of money supporting a dying technology, right before you're unable to make a dime.
Demand decreases in terms of number of customers, but increases in terms of intensity among those who need it.
Supply and demand both go to zero, but not at the same rate.

First noticed this in the 90's. Companies were desperate for X windows (Unix GUI) developers, until they weren't.
Few people knew the tech. Those who did saw the writing on the wall. Nobody new had time to learn it before it went away. But there were applications to maintain.

I accidentally used a B&W roll of film (in the days we had rolls). And when I sent it in for development, I got an unexpectedly high $ charge.
