On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

Sure, but you still shouldn't be selling the technology as actually working, instead of developing.

Amazon bought whole foods a while back. What would have stopped them from just collecting the data in their own stores, and then developed the tech?

Hint: shareholder value.
