It also takes time to turn a big ship, and by the time one realizes one needs to make the turn it may be too late.
To extend this to non-tech examples, failing big companies, like Sears, do not disappear overnight; the decline was in full view for over a decade but ultimately the ship could not be turned. With tech the problem may be even worse; Uber still has not turned a net profit, but with tech investors like to throw money at losing businesses. Some turn around, but that's not guaranteed.
