Well, actually, yeah. That's basically what investments are. If the returns were guaranteed, it wouldn't be called an investment, it would be called a savings account.

And they don't have any empirical evidence of a large market for such an investment?

There's no assumption that there ain't money in it, they know there is. Whether or not they can capture some of it is a completely different issue altogether
