I really agree with this. But I have to say it's not just companies. Look at the fast pace of open source software, web frameworks, etc.
So much focus on "getting there quickly." A few keystrokes and a marketing page, and everyone's using "Foo.js" v0.0.1.
And then you're spending time as a developer dealing with deprecations because APis changed.
But as painful as that is, I believe we need external feedback to deliver better software. Trying a thing, seeing how it's used, and improving it is a good way to go.
It is just going to result in bad times in the short term.
