Marketing is more important than the product because without good marketing, you'll have no customers.

Logistics and supply chain is more important than marketing because without product to ship, you'll go broke before you can bill your customers.

Server ops is more important than logistics and supply chain because if your servers are always down, no one can buy your product.

It's like saying that the engine of your car is more important than the transmission. You need both.

Apple in the late 90s had the same marketing they always had, and they were dying. Google in the late 90s had no marketing, and a product so good it made all other search engines obsolete overnight.
