"One lone APLer could in many cases replace 10-20 applications
programmers..."

Another viewpoint on the same scenario is that "one lone APLer
introduces a single point of failure in the orgnisation" and no
organisation will chose to live with this kind of vulnerability.
Organisations exist to make a profit and the strongest influence on
profit is their expenses: can you seriously believe that they spend
10-20 times more ( I am assuming that the APLer gets paid t he same as
the orhers!) for the same end product?
