If you like that approach (believer that "Facebook Platform" is the internet of the future) you could have gone wild and re-implemented proven web businesses for Facebook platform only: clones of ebay, paypal, or do a search on NASDAQ, pick a company and do the same.
Well it is a fair point. 2 main drivers for me doing it this way are:
1. Learn to build on the facebook platform because I'm a geek and want to see how things work and are engineered.
2. Create an application that has a use for me.
I have no expectations of this applicaiton apart from learning how the facebook application eco system works and hopefully offering an application that will be of use to my friends and a few other facebook users.
I'm sure others with more time and resources will do what you describe and it will be interesting to see if they bring about a viable business with them.

Why limit your audience only to Facebook users?
