I mean, the core issue here is that proper engineering just isn't valued.

Social capital just isn't given out to people that fix things in a lot of these companies, but instead those who ship a 1.0a.

On the management/product side, the inevitable issues are problem for another quarter. On the engineering side, it's a problem for the poor shmucks who didn't get to jump to the next big thing.

Neither of those groups instructionally care about the mess they leave in their wake, and such guardrails they'd perceive as antithetical to releasing the next broken but new, fancy feature.
