The platform, network, seminar, workshop, database, advice, covering, book, course, webinar, pitching, coaching, mentoring, festival and deadline industry looks more profitable than writing.
Yes. Of course it is. There are a million hopeful writers and only a thousand production houses (you get the ratio). Then you follow this up with "here is the special formula to make your story great. You want to be great don't you?" And there is the industry. I'd love someone to give a money back guarantee. Oops they'd have to guarantee their own performance, never going to happen.
You forgot to mention the three industries that probably make the most money from writers - mental health/psychiatric service providers; the pharmaceutical industry; and the distilled spirits industry. There's gold in them there Writer Hills!

And yet, with all those services available, 97% of scripts are still not good enough to be produced...

Fiona: "hocking"...."heavy-digging slog"..."brain-hurt".....there's a catchy slogan in there somewhere!
@Dan isn't there a joke about "people that can't do teach".
