I suspect that the “crap applications” issue arises not necessarily due to the method being wrong, but more likely due to people disregarding step 4 in the article: “Finally, once completely done, go back and perfect”. It may be because of tight deadlines, lazyness (it’s “good enough” so why bother?) or eagerness to jump to the next project (because it is more exciting or profitable than doing the hard work of getting the details right). I guess there is also a personality type factor that plays into it, because many people seem to just care about the hard requirements and cannot be bothered about things like performance, accessibility, design consistency, simplicity, maintainability, good documentation, etc., at least as long as nobody complains about it.
