Don't forget the pointless reworks of the interface that happens every few years in most startups.
And then you look at places like gumtree or craigslist and for these network effect businesses you realize the UX ain't worth the expense.
I bet if twitter hadn't gone through their SPA/etc. iterations they'd probably still be as big today.

We don't need all of the bells and whistles and new redesigns as long as the site works and has content. Users are more likely to leave due to monetization efforts than a dated UI.
