Thank you for your point at the very end regarding the "not my problem" mentality by demonstrating effectively that when the dust settles it's almost always the ends user who's affected as companies don't just willingly take large hits to their profit margins. At "best" (but still a grim outcome) they pursue ways to drive down cost to offset the increase such as smaller development teams or longer timelines but at worst it's passed directly 1:1 onto consumers.
