I thought the Waterfall process was primarily an Agency/Marketing thing, with Tech Startups focusing more on a level playing field where most have input and touch the final product.
This is where I believe these products are focused on, essentially agencies try to get sign-off from clients before they begin work, and the better they can show what the final product (and processes) will be like, the better.
Edit: Yes the Waterfall sucks, especially if you're at the bottom.

In fact, I would say it's the right tool for the job here, despite how much of a charged term "waterfall" has become. It can easily fall apart when a single company does this enough though, because it usually comes with the lie that it delivers reusable work. You're not, and it manifests itself through your slow, confusingly inconsistent product. Maybe your customers don't care, but nobody will be proud of their work, and you'll start to gain the reputation of "it's buggy and confusing but it works"
