I would bet that those businesses will tend to die at higher rates, whereas businesses who let technical people have input into technical decisions will survive at higher rates, reconstituting the market over time around companies that make better technical decisions. How quickly, I don't know, but it seems likely that that is not a winning long term strategy for technical decision making.
