Holy survivor bias batman! A bakery that makes sandwiches is good because well... It's still around and making sandwiches. That's like saying "companies that become profitable are less likely to fail". Bakeries only start to make sandwiches _after_ succeeding at being a good bakery. On average a sandwich shop is bad for the same reason most startups fail: there are a lot of them.
