>>?" Is it that hard to reverse engineer what they do and pay them nothing if you are a Walmart etc.? Serious question<<

It is hard. As a software engr, I can tell you categorically that software is HARD to develop!
Ever wonder why some foreign govt has not just decided to reverse engr Windows or Word or Excel instead of paying royalties to MSFT?
That's because it's far easier to pay the royalty than to reverse engr the code.
