"I'm really not sure but I think it's important to look beyond just "haha, stupid managers, they can't make up their mind". There must be deeper reasons."

You might take it as evidence that, of all the myriad aspects of a business, scale far outweighs all other factors for generating a profit.

You don't have to be "good" (whatever that might mean) to generate profit, production costs just need to be marginally cheaper than your prices.

The managers and directors if you talk to them will frankly tell you they have no idea what’s going on, they hire people and somehow the problems they were hired to solve don’t get solved. I had a founder tell me he created an entire department to improve the developer experience and nearly 20 employees later they’ve not made any successful improvements, they just limp along the broken systems.
