At one of my previous jobs, I was maintaining the product that people prototyped for themselves to check if the idea they're going to build actually works under high load, it was full of parts that were added only and exclusively as stubs for the simulation. The idea ended up being feasible so they said to managers that they can start working on the product, and received an answer that there is no need, the product is already sold to clients and they just need to package it and write documentation. Eventually they had to hire a whole department so we can actually build an app that was already sold and shipped.
