In truth it depends on the software. For web or phone or desktop apps which can be upgraded on the fly, short cycles are ok.

On the other hand, Boeing's crappy software practices resulting in the 737-MAX crashes are an area where short-cuts killed people.

So much this. Coding to marketing dictums on the cycle of days/weeks is completely NOTHING like engineering solutions where subtle design issues can make the difference between life and death (or IRL super good thing A and IRL super bad thing B).
