I agree that commercial incentives are not there, you must always ship earlier than competition rather than waiting for a few months or years to have a more stable product.

However it probably can hurt a brand reputation in the long run if you have a quality level below customer expectation.

Customers are so used to things not working at times though that the bar is not that high.

So the quality we see would seem on average in line with expectations. Especially if things work most of the time and just fail to live up to expectations some of the time.
