Even if buggy software has an impact on the buttom line, managers can continue pretending it doesn't and not allocate any budget to fix them. They assume bug fixes somehow will be squeezed in between the work they really value - new features or better completely new projects. Because creating something new (asking debelopers to create) is the easiest way for a manager to get a promotion. It was many years ago when I last seen a manager (with the power to set priorties and not just translate them form above) who pays more than a lip service to quality and cares about maintenance.
