The market doesn't any longer condone leadership where finishing and following through matter the most. We're in a race to the bottom as we barrel ever further down an economic rabbit hole. I can't, therefore, blame "leaders" for the conditions you correctly point out.

That is 100% a leadership problem. There is a cult around Minimum Viable Product but that can be mitigated by technical leaders who are willing to stonewall the business leaders on unit tests and documentation. I don't even bother telling them that testing and documentation are separate tasks and roll it into development time.
