Popularity is never a result of quality. In any area.

Sometimes it correlates, but mostly it's a matter of legacy, marketing and business decisions (that has nothing to do with dev. experience).

I would suppose this theory should apply to the Beatles as well?

It may. I doubt they would be so popular just because of quality, without decent management, marketing and a bit of luck.
