Because making it work well costs more than making it work barely, and those costs are ultimately profits not being paid to shareholders now.

Those making the decisions get paid their bonuses based on the now, not the maybe, in the future.

It's really that simple.

    First they underprice anyone to dominate the market and end up as the only one left. They do this on borrowed money and then they need to monetize. That's the R, the rest is other people's money who cares.
