It’s not an attitude, it’s how the industry works. You’re an uninformed fool if you think otherwise and fast moving businesses will eat you alive.
>which shipped with half-baked, buggy firmware.
Because consumers pay for this shit. It’s the world we live in. The people working on the bug free version ship a year later after the buggy competitor ate the whole market. They’ve also taken the recognized revenue to take a higher valuation and hire more engineers to rewrite their buggy system than won the market.
Bugs don’t matter unless it’s a competitive market where they can change a sale. A startup operating in that kind of market is already fucked.
In turn and with respect, I argue your perspective is myopic and completely misses the huge desire/opportunity in today's market for reliable products. (This is why Apple got so far ahead of their competition).
