Because every time you want to build a new product you risk that no one ends up wanting the product, or not enough people to justify keeping it going. Alternately once you have depleted all of your current ideas you don't have anything productive for those people to do.

Ok, that can possibly happen. But if it constantly happens, you have problems.
Why?
If you are so good at identifying poor performers, fire them, and reap the profits of being leaner, more effective organization.
"The market" is a boogeyman used to rationalized everything.
