I don't mean to imply there aren't downsides. It isn't going to be huge, because those people can't afford the $$$ you charge large businesses, but it seems like it could be a non-negligible revenue stream.
I don't think the number of electronics hobbyists is a negligible. But the thing is, a garage engineer who turns out 2 prototype PCBs a year still needs a CAD program (also a multi-meter, a soldering iron, and so forth). One model of the iPod probably ships more silicon than the entire hobby market in a decade. There is no way that hobbyists are going to be more than 0% of the market for components, PCBs, and that sort of thing. The weird thing is, to me it seems that tools like PCB CAD is one of the few areas that I can see the hobby market being a non-negligible fraction of the market.
