Who/what is limiting those resources? It certainly isn’t a lack of US Dollars. Is it executives on the financial team requiring a never ending increase in profit margins even though the margins from two years ago were also infinitely sustaining?

Most likely people. As large as Apple is, there’s only so many programmers writing code. If you’ve ever read The Mythical Man Month, you know that throwing more programmers at a project does not nessesarily make it go faster.

QA is somewhat scalable than development. More test to find more bugs.
