Many DIYers have little background in electronics or manufacturing. Look to the computer audio asylum as an extreme example. In that case, most so called DIYers are simply 'assemblers' of off the shelf PC parts with no electronics background at all.
Many manufacturers started as hobbyists and DIY builders but in their DIY days, a lot of their best gear probably looked like prototypes because they didn't have the funds for proper tooling, design aesthetics, and quality manufacturing processes. It's one thing to build a 'one off' and another challenge entirely to make it manufacturable with repeatable quality.
