Yes but no. The point of a prototype is to test a given approach, in a quick and dirty way. Like a backdrop on a theatre stage, it's not meant to be real, only meant to show what it could be.

It is typically greed and poor foresight that leads to the decision to not make it for real. This inevitably bites someone in the butt, later on. Sadly the bitten is almost never the onthrt forced the poor decision in the first place - surprising nobody.
