Not always. Disregarding CSGs and parametrics, Nvidia itself was almost buried for not adhering to that philosophy with their first product https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV1

funny side note. SEGA invested $5m in Nvidia then, after the fiasco to keep them alive. They sold that equity when Nvidia went IPO for roughly $15m. Have they kept it, it would be worth $3b today. SEGA's market cap is around $4b today.
