Being 20x increase in productivity won't come with a 20x money made. Unless you somehow monopoly the extra productivity.
A simple example: if someone patents a machine that makes canned tuna 10 times faster than how they're currently being made, would tuna factories make 10 times more money? The answer is obviously no. Actually, they'd make the same money as before, or even less than that. Only the one who makes such a machine (and the consumers of tuna cans) would be benefited.
The conclusion there, and here, is that canning tuna ten times faster doesn’t increase productivity by ten times (because the there’s other limiting factors). Or: No software project was ever late because the typing took too long.
