Yes there are businesses (game companies?) which just want to get a thing out the door, sell it, and move on to the next thing. But I don't think that's how most software businesses function. Usually software is iterated on and maintained, and you've got a problem if nobody has invested time in understanding how that software actually works.

Maybe, but the vast majority of software isn't written by, or for, software businesses. It's written by internal teams for businesses whose main product is insurance, or retail sales operations, or cabinet manufacturing, or real estate, etc.

To quote Copilot, "According to recent data, nearly 70% of top economic performers use their own software to differentiate themselves from competitors."
