Now if this was a company like Ford they would see the gap in the market and build a sports car marketed at these people. Businesses need to suit their customers, not the other way round.

True to a point. But if a company spots a gap in the market and decide to offer a product that fills the gap they will only do so at a price that ensures a profit from this new line. Ford would not spot a gap and build a new sports car costing £50,000 to manufacture and then sell it for £15,000 .
Customers need to to find a company that supplies their needs at the price they want to pay, not get a company to change its products and prices to suit them alone.
