Hmm.  That's not what I said at all.  Don't put words in my mouth.

If your *entire business model* revolves around relying on one company,
then, yes, it is most likely to be a bad business model.

If, on the other hand, you can take that enhancement or product and use it
to leverage your way into new markets or other products that don't rely on
that one company, then you're in much better shape.
