Even if QA catches stuff, it frequently gets ignored by developers and product managers who don't want anything holding up the ship date.

If the software gets frequent updates, this becomes the norm. Bug fixes come in future development cycles, not when they are found.

QA is the least powerful group in any software engineering setup so it's amusing that consumers think of them as God-like powerful creatures who can hold up releases.
