There's an interesting practical (if not moral) sequel to this, in
that many of
the active Sibelius team were then hired by Steinberg to
make a program to replace Sibelius, called Dorico. I don't know how
well it's doing commercially, but it's a phenomenally impressive
application technically. I can imagine (from the developers'
perspective) that being hired to surpass your own work, in a context
in which that felt like the just thing to do, could be very
motivating.

Checked their site. Couldn't find any system requirements. Price is very high.
