As somebody noted, when you have cornered a large part of the market, you don't feel as much technical pressure, and success in selling becomes key. So sales and MBAs start to run the show, because it makes the business sense, and while doing so risk to lose the sight of the technological advances that made the dominant position possible.
What they are really doing there is merely converting the long-term value created by the engineers into short-term numbers that look good on the quarterly accounts and pay their own bonuses. MBAs and accountants add no value at all, they are simply profiteering from what others create. And once they have sucked an engineering company dry, they move on to the next.
