The problem is the further down you go the more narrow the focus. When I worked on MS Office I was always annoyed they were spending all the money on other products with few users and no revenue.
After all we were the ones taking in the dollars. Of course at an organizational level it was understood they need to invest in the next big thing even if it’s not making money right now.

Use it or lose it is a blunt hammer to basically say "You get enough for subsistence but no more". Sure there are smarter ways but intelligence costs time and money too.
