No one intentionally makes shitty products. Or at least I’ve never heard of anyone who does.
But I can sympathise with the people that made the decisions to put the plane in the air.
I never intended to make products that customers wouldn’t like. But I’ve shipped things that didn’t meet my own (low?) standards due to financial and social pressures for me and the companies I worked for.
Most employees have done the same. Most business owners have as well.
Except that if you launch in production a bad web site to sell bicycles people don't die because of it. You need to make the difference between bad products and dangerous products - if you put in production a bad plane, car, medicine or gun people can die and there is no sympathy for that.
