You certainly may be right about the ratio, but I think that this factor and the degree of importance are not mutually exclusive. At my last employer, this ratio was certainly present, and resulted in a sinful front-end implementation. The front-end was very important for customer experience (resulting in sales) but by the time management realized this, it was a massively arduous process to iterate on. Since server-side development was highly prioritized for a very long time, the two couldn't grow together, resulting in off the shelf solutions cobbled together with java server rendered static pages.
