I think the problem is too much money.

  Yes and no. The same problems can exist in any org. If there isn't much money, it does and we don't hear about it. But if you have a lot of money, you can stay on the runway for a long time befoure you run out.

    The problem with too much money is that it allows for lazy project management practices. And at some scale, it's difficult to determine if you are actually making slow progress or deluding yourself and rebuilding the same system for the third time. Similarly, infinite runway means you can infinitely postpone worrying about stability. "We're still working on features" etc.

      money (payment for goods and services) is a good signal that you are doing good. If you don't need to pay attention or the money comes in regardless of the quality of the product, it's easy to go off the rails.
