Yeah, I'm often thankful to people building these frontends, because ultimately a lot of human information is in those corporate silos and accessing them via a frontend is better than directly.
But at the same time, I would never build such a frontend myself, for the reason you mentioned.
All it takes, is a bunch of profiteering dickwad investors, to make your efforts go poof.
