Sure, models that break along their common paths will lose people money. Models that don't produce the results they should won't lead to high impact publications. In both cases, models can break in unfortunate ways along rarely used code paths or under unusual conditions. If a model just doesn't work, then of course it will be fixed. That's in any context. If it works most of the time until it breaks badly once, then it may well not be fixed before it has caused massive damage.
