Having bad software or a bad website is very often not an existential threat to companies, but having no software or no website is very often an existential threat.

The second thing is: companies do not only try to avoid existential threats; they also attempt to have economical approaches. If anything needs to be maintained, there is the potential, if it is crappy, to make maintenance costly.
