Writing perfect software that nobody wants to pay $ to upgrade/fix is a really bad business model. You want to create software that people want to pay $ for even if it isn’t perfect. It’s like the medical industry. They don’t want to invent medication that cure you. Only medication that “manages” your symptoms and guarantee a long term $ income from your sickness for years until you die.

Same with lawyers. They are billing by the hour. So it is in their interest to make contract negotiations as complicated and drawn out as possible, and the resulting contract vague enough for the client to require more lawyer hours in the future. If you are a lawyer and you help clients to quickly get high quality contracts finished, you will never become a partner.
