There is a reason for this: no one cares about bugs. Cramming down features for sales to close the deals is all that matters.

Ran into a bug? Who cares, people will just refresh the page or restart their computers. Average consumers already treat their computers like appliances, they happily wait 15 minutes for a page to load and are willing to swim in an ocean of ads.

If we want quality software, it has to be tied to the bottom line somehow. So far, it doesn't seem to be the case.
