Why is it important who their customers are and why that pay?

I mean, when you apply you should already have an idea about their product. Who is it for shouldn't matter that that much.
Curios to find out, maybe there's have angle I haven't considered yet.

Grray idea about feedback and softskills. Gonna use these ones too, nex time

I have been burned enough working on projects that waited way too much to do a public release or to start charging customers money.
This is a sure receipt for gold-plating and bike shedding.
Without paid customers, you don't have a compass of what is important to do next.
If they don't have paid customers, I want to know it and to know if they have a real plan to go there.

Without understanding the users, you can't do good work IMHO.
