Shipping a product is a hard thing to do. It takes a lot less work to make a copy of x in 23 hours. The actual "work" of a product often comes right before you release the product. The last 10% of the project is 90% of the work most of the time.

It seems they are doing it because they don't have the willpower to put the finishing touches on and have a shipped product.
