That last part is a fallacy. Usually the people who decide to make their own are the people who would never have bought it. Not everyone who has a use for something is a potential customer.

This is a commercial issue, not a moral issue. There is nothing morally wrong with self-sufficiency.

Personally, I think patents should have an expiration date of about 15 years. Anything more than that stunts innovation.
