Right. But the person deciding on those investments is a product owner who's looking to release new features because that's what management wants. At least that's my experience more often than not.

My guess is that the bias might be the opposite. Maybe these companies become more popular because they are reliable and have the mindset to focus on that.

By the time a company gets large enough to be a household name, they have usually been burned a few times and have someone technical who can push back against short-termism from POs.
