I think the reason why I was confused is that it seems there's a very fine line between a feature factory and Google/Twitter/Facebook/Amazon/... At a lot of these high-functioning places, they seem to have "feature factory" moments with some tweaks (e.g. actually building metrics, refactoring, etc. so that the SW won't implode in 6 months down the line).

People complain about it, but Google being able to literally ‘pull the plug’ and shutdown unprofitable or disproportionately resource draining projects is important to note. To me, that is a characteristic of the un-feature factory, or whatever the opposite would be called.
