&gt; <i>They aren&#x27;t thinking: &quot;hey, let&#x27;s put out a crappy product that will be worse than our competitors&#x27; so that people will have to buy more of our stuff in the future!&quot;</i><p>Of course they&#x27;re doing that. They get away with it, because a) everybody else is doing that too, and b) they know that throwing money at marketing has much better ROI than making a good product. A little bullshit can paper over many faults.
