Interesting. Maybe this a reflection of how engineering quality doesn't matter compared to network effects, usefulness, trendiness, etc? As in, it's not that most successful web apps are not well-engineered, it's that most web apps in general are not well-engineered, and the successful ones are almost randomly distributed among the entire set. I could see how bad engineering isn't too bad for product success, because once you have a site that makes money, people will put up with working with crappy code and designs if they are paid enough (well, not everyone would put up with this, but there are enough people that would, and enough money to pay those people..)
