There is a gap here in apps that (typical) developers need. There is absolutely a market for footguns that work 95% of the time as long as the developer pays some attention to it.

If you did all of the things required of launching a cloud level service for every signup page... few things would get done. There are some web apps which only need to exist for a few weeks or less before they can be tossed in a fire.

If I'm a startup with limited customer expectations of reliability and I just want to see if my friends would use my product demo... a point and click solution sounds pretty great.

Absolutely, I didn't mean to imply that there was no room for MVPs (as well as signup pages, demos, etc), but I didn't understand that the thread was limited in scope to MVPs. Is it?
