What are their incentives? Are they switching off to another product quickly, or are they staying with this product for years/decades?

Do they get rewarded for long term thinking or short term results?

Almost nobody gets rewarded for true longterm thought. Devs, PMs, etc aren't going to stick around waiting for a promotion, raise, or bonus for work they did 3 years prior. They want their comp now for the stuff they did this year, even though you won't see the true longterm outcomes for years to come.
