I wonder if it's as simple as this: a company that's making so much money just has no incentive to improve. After all, if the end goal of a company like Apple is to make money, they're already doing it.

Improving processes and hiring new people shouldn't be a big dent to their massive revenues though.

probably not, but from my anecdotal experience with upper managers (i don’t work at apple), every little bit counts towards “hitting the targets”...it seems unfortunately almost nowhere is immune to this pathological way of thinking...
