Could they fail because they fail to meet deadlines due to convoluted or buggy code or having to invest more money and time to fix those issues and bugs introduced by them?

In the beginning, being able to adopt and/or pivot quickly might be much more important than to have 100% test coverage, keeping up with the latest JS framework or being able to scale to 100M users.
