Enterprise B2B is my go-to example of when product quality is not correlated with success. Distribution and getting through procurement processes is much more important.

As to your other points, Product-led matters when good products matter. Some products are bought purely for the brand/identity element (Seth Godin writes a lot on this), and product is irrelevant in those markets. Imagine there are a number of cases where product quality is irrelevant, but that goes back to my earlier point of the “only argument against product led”

yeah but you usually don't choose between product led or sales driven. The founder creates a company, a culture is created around and this culture will stay more or less the same throughout the live of the company, so you don't choose to be product led, nor can't you advise it. It is just there or not
