Yeah, the main difference is that in the Software world companies like google make products in beta form and use their customers as testers. They could improve the product "on the fly".

On the other hand in manufacturing having a big recall for a defective or incomplete product usually means "instant bankruptcy".

Even big companies like Samsung(Galaxy recall) or Volkswagen(Dieselgate) or BP(Deepwater oil spill) have to suffer immense loses from "moving fast and breaking things".

The reason this works for Google but not for manufacturers is because manipulating and transporting electrons is many orders is magnitude cheaper than for atoms.
