Frankly i see the pressure coming from the financial world.

There is a massive, blinding, focus on quarterly profits and dividends.

This leads to all kinds of hype cycles and cargo cults to try to goose the stock price, no matter how hail mary or unhealthy it is for the corporation in the long term.

That is also a Red Queen's Race. It's a blinding focus on quarterly profits all the way up, and down.
