There are examples of this happening. Niantec built Pokemon Go, made a lot of money from, sold to the Saudi Wealth Fund for even more money, and then the company pivoted to selling all the map data for telling delivery robots where your front door is. I don't think that was ever the plan when Niantec were storing all that data to optimize where to put a Magikarp. it just happened that way.
