Can you share with me (us) the number and size, along with the industry
or operations arena, of those people who are creating their own web UI.

I honestly don't believe that there is that much interest for that
outside of a handful of entities (Brian, CPanel, Canonical, and
LinkedIn?).  I feel like if the interest was greater, we'd see more
evidence of that in the Gitlab issue tracker and or on the MM3 lists.  
Convince me that I'm wrong.
