In 2007 I ran an automated testing team for a product that had 60M in revenue. It was just me by myself. Today you can find startups with less than 5M in revenue with 5 people with the same productivity. Organizations have expanded to fill the budget provided of them mostly through headcount. Similar to Conway's Law.

Even if taken as representative, there are valid reasons for a differing level of investment, like: - importance of quality to the product domain - differences in talent levels and supply of talent - differences in company stage and expected future revenue growth
