Not likely. Large companies do not make these sorts of decisions based on fear of bugs. They make them based on revenue, strategic advantage, etc.

Can you imagine any hard-charging SV CEO saying "actually it might be a bit buggy or muck up our analytics data, best leave it for now folks, enjoy your weekend, take it easy"

Large companies do not have the CEO getting involved in Product decisions like which platforms to develop for or the various downstream implications of those decisions.

It's left up to Product Managers who very much do care about whether their analytics data is messed up given that it is often used to evaluate their performance.

My sweet summer child, the relationship between Apple and Netflix/Google is entirely determined by their respective platform Bizdev teams + executive relationships. Product happens after the business terms are hashed out.
