That's too pessimistic view. This document was excellent in showing off all kinds of things that worked from education to developing useful tech to getting it into hands of some of industry. Those with strong focus on quality are always niche. Obviously, driving Worse is Better on grand scales in enterprise or FOSS takes a different set of techniques that operate close to the techs and practices that have already mainstreamed with a lot of momentum.
Reports of success in those areas combined with what's in this document might allow people to develop hybrid approaches that get stuff done along both axises. As partial confirmation, we've already seen some of the same types of tooling that Eiffel has develop in .NET and Java spaces. Companies pay a lot of money for them, too. Still potential to repeat some of ETH's success with integrated tooling for other mainstream languages mixing tech that benefits various aspects of the software lifecycle. The releases could be a mix of proprietary tools that generate funding plus FOSS components that keep a strong ecosystem of contributors.
