This is consistent with enterprise software as an industry in general, particularly ones under companies that have lost enough engineers and "product people" that causes a bit of a downward spiral as more and more salespersons are leveraged to make up for diminishing momentum of a once-high traction product / service. Sure, Google sells stuff to governments and same with Amazon, but these teams are usually isolated or farmed off to third parties that serve as bullshit shields for the primary engineering-oriented company. In the inverse, a sales-oriented culture will shed engineering and hold them at arms length in precisely the same way. Neither are "better" exactly, but I like to point out the stock performance of these companies as evidence of the reality that you can't rely upon salespeople and M&A to produce results that pleases anyone.
