Is any tooling worth that much, really? I think the key is that backend tooling lends itself to selling hosted solutions, while frontend tooling is usually stuff you run locally or on CI to build artifacts. Sure, there are exceptions, but most people don't pay for developer-focused software anymore, at least not directly.

Sure. There are several companies selling paid JVMs and corpos gladly pay them a lot of money.
