Just some aggregate numbers on how many people are doing it successfully in different niches would be interesting, to calibrate whether we're talking about ecosystems that sustain a handful of people, thousands of people, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions.
In a previous discussion about making a living from Android apps, I asked if anyone had numbers on how many people successfully do so [1]. I received several responses arguing that quite a few people do make a living that way, but I still haven't been able to find any solid numbers, even an order-of-magnitude estimate (does Google release enough data to make such an estimate possible?).
