Many of them do not need to turn a profit and a small number have insane profits due to lack of meaningful competition (cf. honest work). With respect to the later, it's routine to see (overpaid) employees of these companies brag on HN about how they do very little work.
When we see egregious examples like Windows, then it's arguable having constraints might be desirable. It is well-known that "limitation breeds creativity". It's certainly true outside of "tech" companies. I have witnessed it first hand. "Tech" companies are some sort of weird fantasy world where stupidity disguised as cleverness is allowed to run rampant. No more likely place for this to happen than at companies that have too much money.
