Consider the incentives of the corporations. They have no shame, no professional pride; they only care about money. What makes more money: releasing a crappy product today, or a better product next year? The former option gets you some money right now, some of which you can spend on fixing the worst bugs. Fixing all bugs would be an overkill though -- there are more profitable actions, such as adding new features. New features are the key. If your product has 100 features, even if all of them are horrible, the customers will never switch to a product that only has 10 of those feature, no matter how simple and pleasant to use. "Do one thing and do it well" is not how you get rich. Instead of fixing bugs, implement something like one-click publishing on Sharepoint, and keep repeating that this is an important feature that your competitors don't have.
