> Why does software need to be released on February 15th instead of March 7th?

Because it has to be released at some point, and without picking a point in advance, you can never reach it.

I disagree with that entirely. Some features just take longer to develop. If that feature is part of the release, then release it when it is finished and not kind of working. If that feature is just not achievable, then PMs have really screwed up their role by putting it in the release in the first place.
