Commercial software vendors don't even finish their products before shipping what's often aspirational vaporware in the form of a skinned update mechanism. Don't get me wrong; I'm totally in favor of finishing things in the sense of doing the un-fun work of finishing instead of distracting yourself with a fresh set of problems every time you reach the un-fun finishing phase of resolving existing messes. But it's worth noting that what qualifies as "finished" seems vastly different from what it was back in the days of shipping software on CDs and floppy disks. You don't even get a finished automobile anymore in some cases, and we're not talking kit car prices. Tesla, I'm looking at you.
