This is the mild version of the "If there wasn't a God and a Bible and a Hell, we'd all kill and steal from each other all the time" argument.
1) People do exist who like to do customer work and want to do customer work. If they're sought out and given internal support--and it's not really that hard to convince decent engineers to provide that on their own initiative--they will handle it fine. Same goes for things like office management.
2) If some tasks go undone, it's because no one was interested in producing a finished, polished version of the product into which those tasks contribute. If no one is interested, then the product is far less likely to be worth producing.
