I don't think you should just compare programmers/developers with 
entrepreneurs like you did. Of course there are programmers who 
market/promote their own software, but most don't or at least not 
like an entrepreneur would do.

How many bricks Donald Trump helped to put on his buildings? 
None, despite he has made a great fortune and career in 
construction, he is Bachelor of Science in Economics.

Another example is Steve Jobs, how many games he promoted at 
Atari? None, on the other hand he promoted the first Apple 
Computer, but who built that machine was the by the other Steve.
