This is so true.
And it is making the industry eating itself.
The purpose of the software is not profit, but usability. Profit for the organization/owner is a tool to achive that, in some instances (it is very valuable, but not essential).
The primary self-serving focus of bigger and quicker profit leads to serious erosion of trust in technology, making the life of those building a livelihood on top of it shaky at best.
