I think I read an article at one point that most "urban agriculture" and indoor farming tools were originally funded with the expectation that they would only be valuable for cannabis production. Because while you could grow tomatoes and lettuce indoors if you wanted to, it's really only economical to produce cannabis. I think that's still true today.
This is true to an extent, but I certainly wouldn't say it's the case for most. From my observation working in the field it was really only a thing between 2013-2015.
