Well, that's the other side of the coin. The big consulting companies
target new, complex technologies and then proceed to sell these expensive
"solutions" to companies with more money than brains.
Fox, OTOH, was easy enough for most non-developers to start playing
with and get something workable. Often it was one of the original founders of a
business who hacked together an app to run things that then grew way beyond
what they imagined. By then it was most likely a typical crap app of spaghetti
code, poorly-designed interfaces, and lots of copy-paste blocks.
