A bitter irony is that small companies with few resources can profitably work on products and features that cater to an audience of less than a billion people, but large companies with almost limitless resources somehow find that such products and features are suddenly “not worth it”, even products and features that the very same company used to work on when it was smaller.
It’s a lie. Large companies become corrupted by unmitigated profit maximization, willfully discarding all previous values.
